Two Rivers 2026

Overview

Two Rivers is a documentary film released on October 30, 2026, in Germany. The short film has a runtime of five minutes and explores the lives of two friends, Szymon and Franek, who reside near the Oder River at the border of Poland and Germany. The narrative focuses on the boys as they spend their free time at a local skatepark, a location that serves as a communal space for people of various backgrounds. As the film progresses, the boys look across the river and begin to perceive the waterway as a border. This transition is marked by the appearance and disappearance of fences that divide the landscape. The production utilizes 16mm film to blend documentary observation with animation. Through this visual approach, the film examines the experiences of two children growing up in a borderland as they question the nature of borders and whether they are truly tangible entities. The project is categorized as a documentary and was documented by the Movie Database and other film reference platforms.
