    At LiFF, the Lucerne International Film Festival 2014, Lenka Ovčáčková’s documentary film People in Borderlands was awarded the “Showcase Selection”.

    The documentary film uses the example of four cross-border regions in the German-Czech, Austrian-Czech, Austrian-Hungarian, and Hungarian-Austrian border areas. Based on interviews with living witnesses from these regions, the film reflects the great ecological diversity and high ecological value of these landscapes.
