THE EASTERN GATE

In cooperation with Warner Bros. ITVP Germany

TV series - PL 2024 - 2x48' (6x48') - OmeU

Director: Jan P. Matuszyński

There is trouble on the border between Poland and Belarus, the "eastern gateway" for a Russian war of aggression. Polish agent Ewa is off duty for the time being after a traumatic undercover mission. But when her lover and colleague is intercepted on a mission in Minsk, she goes back into the field - to rescue him, uncover a traitor and prevent a war. This breathless Polish thriller series can be smooth and elegant like Bond, but also tough and dirty like Bourne - and is more geopolitically topical than ever.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 9-16, 2025 and always online.
