Greeting remark by the Minister of 

Culture, Youth and Sports. 

First of all, I would like to tell you that I feel very 

good at ease while addressing cinematographers, 

actors and film producers, and at the same time 

dubbing this event, which is very important for all 

of us: “Tirana International Film Festival”, a festival 

which is being organized for the first time in 

Albania, an international festival, in which all 

authors feel that they are equal in the competition of film 

production. 

Our cinematographers – despite the numerous obstacles they 

have to face – have often tried to make Albanian movies and 

take them to various festivals in Europe and beyond, but with 

the first step of this Festival, they are provided with the 

opportunity of presenting their films at home. 

The Albanian Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports is glad to 

give its initial support to such event – with the hope that this 

will only be the beginning of a success story – because it sees in 

it creative and intellectual values of a great potential, which 

need support from state institutions, and which need to 

establish a tradition of their own. 

I take this occasion to greet the originators of this event, Mr. 

Domi and Mr. Butka, who, with much strong will and 

commitment, are realizing their dream and goal of transforming 

Tirana into a center where film is going to speak in various 

languages, of contemporary schools and experiments. 

I extend my best wishes to its first edition. 

Përshëndetja e Kryetarit të Bashkisë, Tiranë 

Deri katër vjet më parë ky ishte një qytet pa kinema, që, për 

gjithkënd që e njeh magjinë e ekranit të madh, mund të 

krahasohej me një shtëpi pa dritare. Sot nga dritarja magjike e 

shtëpisë sonë në rindërtim e sipër na jepet mundësia të hedhim 

sytë mbi 82 kopshte ëndrrash që vijnë nga të katër anët e botës. 

Dhe për këtë shije të veçantë peizazhesh të larmishëm 

shpirtërorë, që do të shfaqen e zhduken përpara nesh duhet t’i 

jemi mirënjohës ideatorëve dhe realizuesve të Tirana Film 

Festival. 

Falë këtij festivali, Tirana është 82 hapa më pranë ëndrrës së saj 

për të qenë një shenjë tërheqëse konvencionale në hartën 

artistike botërore. 

Greeting remark, by the Mayor of Tirana 

Until four years ago, this city did not have a cinema, and could 

therefore be compared – by those who have experienced the magic of 

the big screen – with a windowless house. Today, from the magic 

window of our house – which is undergoing a lot of restoration – we 

are given the opportunity of glimpsing at eighty-two gardens of 

dreams, coming from all over the world. And, for such a special taste 

of variegated spiritual landscapes, which are going to be flashed in 

front of us, we should be grateful to the originators and organizers of 

the Tirana Film Festival. 

Thanks to this Festival, Tirana is now eighty-two steps closer to its 

dream of being an attractive conventional sign in the international 

arts map. 

Përshëndetja e Ministres së 

Kulturës, Rinisë dhe Sporteve. 

Para së gjithash dua t’ ju tregoj se ndihem 

mjaft mirë që po i drejtohem kineastëve, 

aktorëve, prodhuesve të filmit dhe 

njëkohësisht që po pagëzoj këtë aktivitet kaq 

të rëndësisëshëm për të gjithë ne: “Tirana 

International Film Festival”, festival i cili 

zhvillohet për të parën herë në Shqipëri, 

festival i përmasave ndërkombëtare ku çdo autor ndihet i barabartë 

në konkurencën e prodhimit filmik. 

Jo rrallë herë kineastët tanë me gjithë vështirësitë që gjithkush nga 

ne tashmë i ka të qarta janë munduar ta prodhojnë filmin shqiptar 

dhe ta çojnë atë në festivale të ndryshme europiane e më gjerë, por 

tani që ky festival po hedh hapin e parë ata do të kenë mundësinë ta 

prezantojnë filmin e tyre në shtëpinë e tyre. 

Ministria e Kulturës, Rinisë dhe Sporteve po i jep mundësinë dhe 

mbështetjen e parë (dhe shpresojmë që ky të jetë vetëm fillimi), një 

aktiviteti të tillë sepse sheh aftësitë prodhuese, krijuese e intelektuale, 

vlera potenciale që kanë nevojë të përkrahen nga institucionet 

shtetërore, që kanë nevojë të krijojnë një traditë. 

Përfitoj nga rasti të përshëndes iniciuesit e këtij aktiviteti Z.Domi 

dhe Z.Butka, të cilët me shumë dëshirë e përkushtim po realizojnë 

ëndrrën dhe qëllimin e tyre për ta shndërruar Tiranën në një qendër 

ku filmi do të flasë në gjuhë të ndryshme, në shkolla dhe 

eksperimente bashkëkohore. 

Shpreh urimet më të mira për këtë edicion të parë.

Greeting from the organizers | Përshëndetje nga organizatorët 

Alternate thoughts, similiar views 

Dear friends, 

We are pleased to inform you about the birth of a new event, 

the Tirana International Film Festival. This Festival will be added 

to the big but not sufficient number of the other film festivals 

around the world. 

Every festival brings a new flavor or another color, which better 

completes the worldwide cinematographic atmosphere. We also 

hope that by organizing this festival we will be adding a small 

stone to the world multicolored mosaic. 

Tirana Film Festival aims to be an international yearly activity, 

where the best achievements in the short film gender, fiction, 

animation or documentary can be mirrored. In this festival the 

authors will be professionally faced with the tendencies and the 

actual streams of the European and the Worldwide 

cinematography. 

We think that this festival will help the cultural integration of 

the countries of the region with the rest of the world by facing 

the problematic and the concerns transmitted and materialized 

in the respective creations. 

Finally, all the directors, who work to materialize their ideas 

through uncountable obstacles, are invited to become 

protagonists of the festival. 

Wishing you a good work, 

Agron Domi 

Ilir Butka

Mendojme ndryshe, shohim njesoj 

Te nderuar miq, 

Kemi kenaqesine t’ju njoftojme per lindjen e nje film festivali te ri, 

Tirana International Film Festival. 

Ky Festival do t’i shtohet numrit te madh, por asnjehere te 

mjaftueshem te festivaleve te tjera ne te gjithe boten. Çdo njeri prej 

festivaleve sjell nje arome apo nje ngjyre te munguar ne atmosferen 

kinematografike boterore. Edhe ne shpresojme qe me organizimin e 

ketij festivali te shtojme nje gur te vogel ne mozaikun 

shumengjyresh boteror. 

TIFF synon te jete nje aktivitet nderkombetar i pervitshem ku do te 

mund te pasqyrohen arritjet me te mira ne gjinite e filmit te 

shkurter, animacionit dhe dokumentarit. Ne te autoret do te 

ballafaqohen profesionalisht me tendencat dhe rrymat aktuale ne 

kinematografine europiane dhe boterore. 

Mendojme se ky festival do te ndihmoje ne integrimin kulturor te 

vendeve te rajonit me pjesen tjeter te botes, duke u ballafaquar me 

problematiken e shqetesimet e percjella dhe te materializuara ne 

realizimet perkatese. 

Duke e mbyllur ftojme te behen protagoniste te ketij festivali te 

gjithe ata regjisore qe me veshtiresi te panumurta punojne per te 

realizuar idete e tyre. 

Ju urojme pune te mbare .

The Albanian National Center of Cinematography 

In 1996, like dozens of other institutions in 

Albania, Albafilm (former Film Studio “New 

Albania”) ceased to exist, and was 

transformed into a service center for 

cinematography. In the same year, the 

National Center of Cinematography was 

established as an institution that provides 

support for film projects, that are either 

totally or in part government budget.. 

Film Studio “New Albania” was established 

on 10 July 1952, five years before the 

establishment of the first Albanian 

university. Its first support with regard to 

the pattern, structure, technology and 

content came from the East, mainly from 

USSR. Step by step, it established all its 

necessary components: laboratory, set 

workshops, sound studios, editing rooms, 

and other studios, thus closing the cycle of 

making films independently. In those years it 

employed 700 people, which made it quite e 

big enterprise. In its best years, the Film 

Albanian Animation 

In December 1975, the first Albanian 

animated film was projected on the big 

screen. Its title was ‘Zana and Miri’, and it 

was made by two pioneers: Tomi Vaso and 

Vlash Droboniku. 

Nowadays, in addition to the Albanian 

screen, it is projected with equal dignity on 

many international screens, such as in 

festivals like that of Cannes, Annecy, 

Espinho, Shtutgard, Hiroshima, Sao Paolo, 

Drama, Madrid, etc. 

Studio AFA, being the only producing studio 

until 1997, has about 165 titles in its fund, 

which have been realized in various 

techniques, such as cartoon, Cellophane, 

dummies, Plasticine, drawing, water-colour, 

silhouette, real objects or other techniques 

combined with real figure and set. 

Studio produced about fourteen artistic 

movies, sixteen cartoon films and about 

eighty documentaries a year. In its fifty 

years, Albania was able to produce 270 

artistic movies, about one thousand 

documentaries, over 180 cartton films, not 

to mention its cine-diaries, which amount to 

staggering figures. When taking into 

account the size of Albania, such figures are 

almost unbelievable. All this is a great 

tradition, which, despite being limited from 

the ideology of the time, is an undeniable 

proof of our national culture. 

Since 1996 Albania has created film works 

in co-production with other countries such 

as France, Poland, Italy, Russia, Switzerland, 

Bulgaria, Romania, etc. In firve years about 

95 film works have been made (movies, 

documentaries and cartoons). Fort he first 

time Albanian films started to appear in 

prestigious festivals such as that of Cannes, 

Venice, Thesaloniki, Tokio, etc., where they 

A recent trend in animated film is that it 

addresses not only young ages but also 

adults, reflecting the latest social 

developments in Albania, including the 

phenomena of the Albanian society. 

A positive trend in the Albanian animated 

film at this time is the widening of its 

geography of international communication, 

which led to its being projected on the most 

prestigious screens for animated films, with 

equal and successful presence. 

The concept of animated film production in 

Albania is the same as the international 

concept of production, which means that in 

the future the Albanian animated film is ready 

to cooperate with film makers and production 

studios in other countries, something that is 

guaranteed by the quality and artistic level of 

the productions in the past years. 

have even received prizes. That has led to 

the increase in the interest in Albanian 

films and authors. 

ANCC is an independent state structure, 

governed by its special law and budget, run 

by a board that represents and protects the 

interest of the Albanian cinematographic 

community directly. It operates by 

cooperating with Albanian film houses, 

which present and produce their films with 

its financial support. The produced films are 

totally private activity of such film houses 

and their producers. 

Those who are patient enough to read 

additional details about ANCC, this material 

can be annexed with a detailed chart on the 

use of the budget for each year and each 

film work, for the last seven years, and with 

other information about the mechanism of 

its organizational, legal and financial 

structures. 

University of 

Prishtina, Kosova 

Department of Film 

The Department of Film Directing in 

Prishtina was established in 2000, and 

so far it has produced five generations 

of students. 

Every year, four to six students are 

accepted in this school. The attendance 

scheme is 3+2 years. It must emphasized 

that the students of this school have had 

successful presentations in a lot of 

international festivals, such as that of 

Karlovivari, Geneve, Berlin, Athens, etc. 

In addition to well-known directors from 

Kosova, other equally well-known 

directors from Albania, such as Kujtim 

Çashku, Gjergj Xhuvani etc. lecture at 

this school.

ALFA GLINA Company 

ALFA GLINA purchased 100% of the shares of the 

defunct state-owned enterprise that originally bottled 

Glina water in 1996.This acquisition gave rise to ALFA 

GLINA. Glina sparkling water is so far the most 

favoured in the Albanian market and internationally 

accredited for its medicinal and mineral attributes. 

This water springs from Mount Bureto near 

Gjirokastra. With increasing demand for non-sparkling 

water; the company introduced Bureto natural 

mineral water in 2000. These sister brands command 

significant presence across Albania and are being 

successfully introduced throughout Europe and 

America. ALFA GLINA is also the producer of the 

popular orange carbonated soft drink Glina Ricoco. 

Heineken 

The history of Heineken N.V begins in December 16, 

1863, the day on which Gerard Adriaan Heineken 

bought the De Hooiberg brewery in Amsterdam and 

started the production of the Heineken beer. 

In 1917 Gerard’s son Dr. Henry Pierre Heineken 

became chairman. He encouraged the rapid 

international expansion of Heineken N.V. and in the 

early 1930s the company took its first tentative steps 

in Asia. Under Alfred H. Heineken’s leadership, 

president of the company from 1964 to 1989, 

Heineken N.V. grew phenomenally and became an 

international company. Heineken N.V. is now the 

world’s top exporting beer producer. 

Heineken is a premium larger beer with 5% alcohol 

content. In 1866 G.A. Heineken asked Dr H. Elion to 

find the key to a uniform taste. It arrived in the form 

of the ‘A’ yeast to ensure quality and stability. 

The Heineken brand can be enjoyed in more than 200 

countries all over the world, and its distinctive green 

bottle is globally recognized as a trademark for 

authentic quality and ultimate beer experiences. 

Since 2001, Heineken has been part of the Albanian 

consumers’ life.

Beginning its first radio broadcast in 

1938, today Radio Tirana is a 

complex organization providing 

diverse programs for 2 channels of 

domestic service (respectively 19 

and 5 hours daily) and a third 

section covering international 

broadcasting in short and medium 

waves (2 services in Albanian and 7 

services in foreign languages). There 

are also, several local radios. 

Radio Tirana and Albanian Television 

together constitute RTSH, which is a 

public broadcasting organization. It 

is the only national broadcasting 

company in the country, besides 

several local and regional private 

run radio and TV stations which 

started recently. 

RTSH provides a full range of radio 

and TV programs such as news, 

cultural, scientific, economical, 

environment, agricultural, music, 

entertainment, drama and children 

programs. 

Since the 15 November 1993, RTSH 

broadcasts two hours on the 

satellite covering all of Europe 

including the northern part of the 

Mediterranean. This program 

operates from 6.30 pm to 8.30 pm 

(CET) and is aimed at all the 

Albanian communities living in 

Kosovo, Macedonia, Monte Negro 

and Cameria (Northern Greece), as 

well as Albanians living in Europe. 

35 % of the funding of RTSH comes 

from commercial advertising and 

fees (half a US$ per year for each 

household). The Government 

finances the remaining part through 

the Parliament. There is a small 

complimentary financing by 

sponsorship.

One-meter-to-one canvas 

“Michelangelo, too, painted the Sistine Chapel 

within the space he was provided with.” That 

statement by Antonioni, the other 

“Michelangelo”, the one of the movies, embraces 

the consideration that artistic expression cannot 

be confined by space limits: just like the painter, 

who could express himself the same both on a 

one-meter-to-one canvas and on a magnificent 

dome, a director can unfold his genius on 300 

meters of film, too. The one-square-meter 

canvases the seven art “painters”, presented here 

upon a selection of the Istituto Luce 

documentaries, carry the signatures of some 

well-known names of Italian cinematography. 

Those films have been made within the limits 

described above by directors that would later 

write the history of cinematography: dwarf 

masterpieces that have been produced by giants. 

One is awed at the poetry that Michelangelo 

Antonioni unfolds within those ten minutes of 

N.U. Nettezza Urbana. It is 1948 and the master 

is years before his following masterpieces; 

however, there is among those awakening

Istituto Luce, a company of Cinecittà 

Holding, is one of Italy’s most 

important film companies known 

worldwide especially for its film archives 

dating from the beginnings of 

cinematography to the day. Since its 

foundation in 1924 to the present day 

Istituto Luce has played a key role in the 

history of Italian and international 

cinema. Its primary goal was to spread 

culture and knowledge but the fascist 

regime soon understood the power of 

cinema for propagandistic means and 

that led, one year after the foundation,

street-sweepers some of his mastery that would 

be later expressed in L’avventura, L’eclisse, 

Zabriskie Point, Blow Up and in others, in that 

Rome that would be later revisited in 1990 in 

another documentary produced by Luce. “Before 

the release of Antonioni’s documentary we had 

no eyes to look at Rome. All other documentary 

directors that followed owe those eyes to him,” 

Valerio Zurlini, another master would say. Valerio 

Zurlini is an unknown director for the general 

audiences, but a study case for cinematography 

schools; he, too, is present in this collection, 

with his La Stazione. 

While Antonioni expressed his linguistic 

novelties through his short documentaries, 

Rossellini had just finished his trilogy with Roma 

città aperta (1945), Paisà (1946) and Germania 

anno zero (1947), thus inaugurating the neorealism 

period in the cinematography. The father 

of neo-realism himself had started his career 

with documentaries. Fantasia Sottomarina 

(1937), which is presented here, is one of the 

first documentaries that were shot by him: a 

story of fish in a fish tank. This film document, 

which today could produce some smile for its 

naivety, is indeed a rare pearl of 

cinematography, not only for its 

cinematographic language but also for being a 

proof of a master’s insistence and humbleness, a 

master who experiments with the camera even 

when the actors are only fish. And Rossellini had

to the acquisition of Luce by the State 

making it the first State-owned film 

production company in the world. The 

Giornale Luce was used by the Italian 

government to broadcast news and 

propaganda in the scheduling of all 

Italian movie theatres. Soon Luce 

introduced the first sound films in 

Europe and took down to producing the 

greatest films of the period paving the 

way to the opening of Cinecittà that 

would later be known worldwide as the 

“Hollywood on the Tiber”. 

Thousands of hours of film archives 

a long time at hand to exercise with fish, insects 

or snakes in his first documentaries, which were 

almost all involved in exploring nature and its 

creatures. “I thought he was crazy,” says Federico 

Fellini in his memoirs. “He was shooting 

something at a corner, and when I went over to 

him I saw he was trying to coax a frog to 

jump...”. 

Insistence, experimenting, new narrative 

expressions, the search for a new 

cinematographic language typify other titles of 

this collection: from the almost futuristic 

dynamic of Ritmi di stazione (1933) by Corrado 

D’Errico, which is based quite revolutionarily on 

a soundtrack in which noise is balanced with 

Gershwin’s rhythmic-symphonic music, to the 

meta-cinematography of Buio in Sala (1950) by 

Il Sorpasso author, Dino Risi, who in ten minutes 

shows a film within the film, turning his camera 

to the audience, turning them into characters. 

To the eye of the contemporary audience, who 

are used to frenetic shots of modern 

cinematography, some of these works may look 

out-of-date. However, they should remember 

that contemporary cinema could not be what it 

is without the names of Rossellini, Antonioni, 

Risi, etc., who first unleashed their genius in 

ten-minute films.

Ágnes Kocsis 

Hungary/2000/35 mm /30’ 

Lajos Mezei is a middle-aged, insignificant, average man. He works 

at the post office sorting letters with a machine. His life is but a 

series monotonous everyday events, but he has a passion that 

makes him different from his fellow humans. This passion replaces 

all human relationships and events in his life. He flees into a world 

of his own, hermetically sealed, which only he can understand and 

where he therefore feels safe. One day, however, his well-balanced 

life is turned upside down. 

Lajos Mezei është një meso-burrë i parëndësishëm, mëse i 

zakonshëm. Ai punon në postë, ku seleksionon letrat me anë të një 

makine. Jeta e tij nuk është veçse një seri ngjarjesh të përditshme 

monotone, e megjithatë ai ka një pasion që e dallon nga njerëzit e 

tjerë. Ky pasion zëvendëson çdo lloj marrëdhënie dhe ngjarje në 

jetën e tij. Ai largohet në një botë të tijën, hermetikisht të mbyllur, 

të cilën vetëm ai mund ta kuptojë dhe në të cilën ai ndjehet i 

sigurtë. Megjithatë, një ditë jeta e tij kthehet përmbys.

complicate matters.

Domestic Exit 

Shtëpiaku 

Barry struggles to come to terms with his redundancy and to 

occupy himself whilst apparently at work, he breaks into stranger’s 

houses to clean them. Through cleaning Barry regains order, a sense 

of purpose and the strength to confront his situation. He 

unwittingly becomes an angel in another couple’s troubled life. 

Me shumë përpjekje, Barry përpiqet të pajtohet me shkurtimin nga 

puna dhe t’i gjejë vetes punë. Ai hyn fshehurazi në një shtëpi të 

huaj për ta pastruar. Përmes pastrimit, Barry rifiton rregullin, 

ndjesinë e qëllimit në jetë dhe fuqinë për të përballuar situatën në 

të cilën ndodhet. Pa e kuptuar, ai bëhet një ëngjëll i jetës së trazuar 

të çiftit të kësaj shtëpie të huaj.

In an effort to “get in” to an unknown place, a man’s life is torn 

apart through a series of haunting flashbacks. Asking questions 

that are rarely asked, the interviewer reveals a dark and dangerous 

side of the interviewee. “Getting In” is an intense and unfamiliar 

examination of social power. 

Në një përpjekje për t’u pranuar në një vend të panjohur, jeta e një

rrezikshme të të intervistuarit. Ky film është një ekzaminim i fortë 

dhe i pazakontë i pushtetit shoqëror.

Jean-Pierre Avoine wrote several screenplays and directed 

several shorts, most notably “The Teapot” based on Hans C. 

Andersen’s tale, which won several prizes in numerous 

festivals. Encouraged by these early successes, Avoine 

went on to complete his studies in California, where he 

obtained a Certificate in Film and Television from UCLA, in 

the spring of 1998. Today he continues to refine the 

creative relationship between the actors, the director and the camera 

through an informal workshop he created. Through his production company, 

Avoine has acquired the rights to several plays and is currently developing 

their adaptation for both the film and television screens.

Those everyday passengers who take the late trains in working days 

always wear old wrinkled clothes. They sit in an empty wagon, 

staring at each other, trying to imagine each others life. Another 

day passed away, ripe with lost chances. They only look forward to 

get home. Hope tomorrow brings another day... 

Pasagjerët e përditshëm të trenave të vonët, çdo ditë jave, veshin 

gjithmonë tesha të vjetra e të rrudhosura. Ulen në vagona të 

zbrazët, me sy të ngulur tek njëri-tjetri, duke u përpjekur të 

imagjinojnë jetën e secilit. Shkoi edhe një ditë e ngarkuar me raste 

të pashfrytëzuara. Mezi presin të kthehen në shtëpi. Me shpresën se

Ina’s Birthday Kosova 9/11 

Ditëlindja e Inës 

Andre Bergelt 

It is Ina Handel’s 58 th birthday and she strongly gets aware of her 

loneliness. No one comes to celebrate her birthday. The people around 

her are strangers to her. The only way out seems to be a suicide.Ina’s 

first hesitating attempt to commit suicide fails. The second attempt – a 

jumping from a roof – is prevented by 59yo fireman Karl. After a short 

stay in hospital Ina returns to her place. She is thinking of Karl – Karl is 

searching for Ina. But he can’t find her. Ina “puts on stage” another 

attempt to commit suicide. Again she is standing at the roof, hoping to 

meet Karl, the fireman. And Karl really comes. 

Është 58-vjetori i Ina Handelit, gjatë të cilit ajo ndërgjegjësohet për 

vetminë e saj. Askush nuk vjen për ta festuar ditëlindjen me të. 

Njerëzit që e rrethojnë janë të panjohur. E vetmja rrugëzgjidhje 

mbetet vetëvrasja. Përpjekja e parë e Inës për të vrarë veten dështon. 

E dyta (hedhja nga tarraca) parandalohet nga zjarrfikësi 59-vjeçar, 

Karli. Pas një qëndrimi të shkurtër në spital, Ina kthehet në shtëpinë e 

saj. Mendja i shkon tek Karli, ndërsa Karli është në kërkim të Inës. Por 

ai nuk e gjen dot. Ina inskenon një përpjekje tjetër për të vrarë veten. 

Shkon dhe qëndron përsëri në cep të tarracës, me shpresën se kështu 

do të takojë zjarrfikësin Karl. Dhe Karli nuk mungon të vijë.

Einspruch III 

Rolando Colla 

An Algerian man with an artificial leg is caught by border guards 

trying to enter Switzerland with a group of refugees. Subsequently, 

he is informally sent back to Germany. When he is deported in the 

early hours of the morning, his artificial leg is left behind. On 

finding the prosthesis, the Swiss immigration officials respond 

rather nervously as no one wants to be responsible for it. 

Një algjerian me një këmbë artificiale e kapin rojet kufitare, tek 

përpiqet të hyjë në Zvicër bashkë me një grup refugjatësh. Për 

pasojë e kthejnë në Gjermani jozyrtarisht. Gjatë kthimit herët në 

mëngjes, këmba artificiale i ngelet mbrapa. Kur gjejnë protezën e 

tij, zyrtarët zviceranë reagojnë disi të nervozuar, sepse askush nuk 

do të mbajë përgjegjësi për të.

Riccardo Marchesini 

We are in the ’70 when the success of TV seems to be destined to 

change the future of a little and modest cinema of the outskirts 

managed by a family. When the public start to fall to attend the 

cinema and all seems to turn to the worse, arrives in the village an 

improbable impresario destined to distort the destiny of the cinema 

and of the whole village. 

Jemi në vitet ’70 kur suksesi i televizionit duket se do të ndryshojë 

të ardhmen e një kinemaje të vogël dhe modeste në periferi, e cila 

menaxhohet nga një familje e vetme. Kur numri i spektatorëve 

fillon të bjerë dhe çdo gjë duket se do përfundojë keq, në fshat vjen 

një menaxher arti, i cili do të ndryshojë fatin e kinemasë dhe të të

Historia e një lypësi, i cili fsheh gjysmën e këmbës dhe lyp në rrugë. 

Një ditë këmba i gangrenizohet dhe atij i duhet ta presë me të

Televizori i Parë 

Albania/2001/Beta /20' Ireland/2002/35mm/14’ 

John O’Donnell 

The First Television tells the comic and sometimes surreal story of Larry 

and his quest to buy his first ever television. Larry is an oddity, a miser 

and an eccentric who lives on his own at the top of a desolate tower 

and has a fear of the dark. On Christmas Eve he finally decides to buy 

himself a television. Larry has to make his way home with this heavy 

acquisition. As he is totally reliant on public transport he is forced to 

endure a difficult journey encountering a variety of equally oddball 

characters along the way. But the real twist in the tale comes when 

Larry finally reaches his home and tries to plug in the new television! 

Televizori i Parë tregon historinë komike dhe nganjëherë surreale të 

Larry-t dhe misionit të tij për të blerë televizorin e tij të parë në jetë. 

Larry është një çudi e kësaj bote, një koprac i cili jeton i vetëm në 

majë të një kulle të braktisur dhe që ka frikë nga errësira. Natën e 

Krishtlindjeve, më në fund ai vendos të blejë një televizor. Larry duhet 

ta çojë deri në shtëpi mallin e rëndë që ka blerë. Edhe pse ka besim të 

plotë tek transporti publik, ai detyrohet të bëjë një udhëtim të 

vështirë, gjatë të cilit takon një shumëllojshmëri karakteresh po aq të 

çuditshëm. Kulmi i historisë vjen kur Larry më në fund mbërrin në 

shtëpi dhe përpiqet të vërë në prizë televizorin e ri.

lehtë për Danielin.

Wounded You Should Make Movies 

Plagosja 

A Ferida 

Margarida Leitão 

Wounded is portrait of a silence. 

Nourished by pain, it corrupts the intimacy of a couple that has lost 

their child. The mother, Gracinda Nave, refuses to speak, 

transforming their home in a place of mourning where memories 

shatter lovers, ruining the relation with her husband, José Airosa. 

Ky film është portreti i një heshtjeje. E ushqyer prej dhimbjes, kjo 

heshtje prish afërsinë e një çifti që ka humbur fëmijën. Nëna, 

Gracinda Nave, nuk pranon të flasë, duke e kthyer shtëpinë e tyre 

në një vend vajtimi, ku kujtimet i shkatërrojnë të dashurit, duke 

rrënuar kështu marrëdhënien me bashkëshortin e saj, José Airosa.

Your Chicken Died of Hunger 

Pula juaj ngordhi nga uria 

Beryl Koltz 

Luxembourg /2002/35mm/ 30’ 

In a trade fair of contemporary art exhibiting one image more 

unbearable than the next, three men turn up with one sole goal in 

mind: to steal the safest « bet » of the exhibition, the picture of a 

thin chicken on a plate entitled, « Your chicken died of hunger ». 

Në një ekspozitë të artit bashkëkohor, ku janë paraqitur një imazh

Anglobilly Feverson Hope’s Water 

Méliès meets Kerouac in a cryptic roadmovie through the clouds. 

Instead of a hole in the head, Diddybob gets a story about a hole in 

the sky; A legendary Anglobilly Feverson once flew off to leave his 

cursed life behind and check the other side. His journey was long 

and tiresome. He had to deal with the smallest and biggest 

residents of the sky before he reached his destination. 

Méliès njihet me Kerouac në një film të mistershëm mes reve. Në 

vend të një vrime në kokë, Diddybob dëgjon një histori për një 

vrimë në qiell. Legjendari Anglobilly Feverson dikur u largua për të 

lënë pas shpatullave jetën e tij të mallkuar dhe për të parë çfarë ka 

në anën tjetër. Udhëtimi i tij ishte i gjatë dhe i lodhshëm. Iu desh të 

përballet me banorët e vegjël e të mëdhenj të qiellit përpara se të 

mbërrijë në destinacion.

In this world the control that surrounds us everywhere is something 

natural or even stimulating for a human activity. The Chameleon 

from the movie wants to unify in contrary. It’s his natural, mimetic 

feature. He wants to fit into his surrounding not to be recognized. 

Në këtë botë kontrolli që na rrethon ngado është ndonjëherë i

Kameleoni i këtij filmi kërkon të bëjë të kundërtën. Ky është tipari i

Once upon a time, an old eccentric fascinated by the MOON and 

living in a garbage dump, is knocked by an apple which falls from 

up. It makes him decide to find out where it comes from and to 

realize his dreams. It’s a story about a puppet who leaves his stage 

set to find out who or what is looking him from up. 

Nje here e nje kohe, nje njeri eksentrik, i magjepsur prej HENES, i cili 

jeton ne nje grumbull plehrash, e godet ne koke nje kokerr molle qe 

bie nga lart. Prej kesaj ai vendos te zbuloje se nga erdhi kjo kokerr 

molle, duke realizuar keshtu endrren e tij. Kjo eshte historia e nje 

marionette qe largohet prej skenes ku luan per te zbuluar se kush e 

veshtron qe prej lart.

Stonecutter The Lift 

Gurëgdhendësi 

Artan Maku 

By sculpturing a rock, the stonecutter creates a couple. They take 

life from the breathing of birds. The Evil tries to petrify again the 

young couple, but the stonecutter protects them by giving them his 

own heart, and so he is self-petrified.The heart of stonecutter 

covers the couple by burning the Evil. 

Duke skulpturuar shkëmbin, një gur-gdhendës krijon një çift. Ata 

marrin jetë nga frymëmarrja e zogjve. Ligësia përpiqet ta ngurtësojë 

përsëri çiftin e ri, por gur-gdhendësi i mbron duke iu dhënë zemrën 

e tij, duke u kthyer vetë në gur. Zemra e gur-gdhendësit e mbron 

çiftin duke e djegur Ligësinë.

To live or not to live in the relations means… the same destiny.

A long time ago, a boy left a village. And he, who has become an old man 

now, comes back to the village alone. He always carries a big, black 

knapsack, and village people’s curiosity and supposition about the knapsack 

grow bigger and bigger. 

Shumë kohë më parë, një djalë u largua nga fshati i tij. Dhe ky djalë, i cili 

tashmë është plakur, kthehet në fshat i vetëm. Me vete mban gjithmonë një 

cantë shpine të madhe të zezë dhe kureshtja dhe hamendjet e banorëve të 

fshatit rriten gjithnjë e më shumë.

The Ritual 

Ritual 

Albert Malltezi 

Albania/2000/VHS/6’ 

As usual, the same thing, has happened, happens and will always 

happen, because there’s always a number “one” and there are some 

others, too, which would so much like to be so. It’s difficult to 

become, but it’s still more difficult to continue beling like this “a 

number one”. This is what is called “RITUAL” I say this, and many 

others would like to say it more and more loudly, just like me... 

Si gjithmonë gjërat kanë ndodhur, ndodhin dhe do të ndodhin, 

sepse gjithmonë ka një “të parë”, dhe ka të tjerë, që duan të jenë të 

parë gjithashtu. Eshtë e vështirë të fillosh, por më e veshtirë të 

vazhdosh…. 

Ky është “I pari”, që e quajmë “Ritual” 

Unë them këtë dhe të tjerë duan ta thonë fort e më fort, ashtu si 

dhe unë...

TheTunnel 

Tuneli 

Artur Dauti 

Albania/2000/35mm/7’45” 

In an old rail way station, people are waiting in line to get tickets 

for the last train. The train sets off and enters in a dark tunnel. A 

tiny lamp illuminates the tired and long- suffering faces of the 

passengers. They have no idea where they are going. Suddenly a 

powerful light comes on. It is the end of the tunnel. The passengers 

are glad, but also frightened. They are nowfaced with questions; 

should they stay or should they go back. 

Në një stacion të vjetër treni, disa njerëz presin në rradhë për të 

blerë bileta për trenin e fundit. Treni niset dhe hyn në një tunel të 

errët. Fytyrat e lodhura dhe të vuajtura të pasagjerëve i ndriçon 

vetëm një llampë e voçkël. Ata nuk e dinë fare ku po shkojnë. Befas, 

hapet një dritë e fuqishme. Tunelit i ka ardhur fundi. Pasagjerët janë 

të gëzuar, por edhe të frikësuar: tani ata gjenden përballë dilemës, a 

duhet të qëndrojnë apo duhet të kthehen mbrapa.

Abandoned Eden 

Albania/2002/35mm/20’ 

Between Idols 

Edeni i Braktisur Çdo të Thotë 

Eno Milkani 

In a beautiful coastal village of south Albania, a fist of old people is 

left alone, because the young people have emigrated. The presence 

of a baby in this village makes all the people happy, and for a time 

they will dedicate their energies on taking care for this baby. Their 

happiness won’t last forever; this baby will follow the destiny of his 

young parents. 

Në një fshat të bukur të bregut, një grusht pleqsh kanë ngelur 

vetëm, sepse të rinjtë kanë shkuar të gjithë në emigracion. Prania e 

një foshnjeje në fshat i bën të gjithë të lumtur, dhe ata ia kushtojnë 

të gjitha energjitë fëmijës. Lumturia e tyre nuk do të zgjasë shumë. 

Edhe ky fëmijë do të ndjekë fatin e prindërve të tij.

All children are playing, in the remote of village of Ana. They always 

play. And in the rainless year, they play “Hederse” with stone and 

date. A legacy from a forgotten ritual. 

Të gjithë fëmijët po luajnë në fshatin e largët të Anas. Gjithmojnë 

luajnë. Dhe në këtë vit pa shira, ata po luajnë lojën “Hederse”, me

Anne Cleary & Denis Connolly founded in 

Performance and Happening, the work of Anne 

Cleary and Denis Connolly has evolved in recent 

years towards digital video, though their work 

remains centered to the personal exploration of real 

contexts. Since 1999 their videos have been shown 

in galleries, art centers and film festivals throughout 

europe. Rejecting the opaque notions of contemporary art destined for a 

closed circle of the initiated, they are increasingly interested in the 

possibilities of television in search of larger publics and more open networks. 

The Boulevard is their first large scale audiovisuel project. “Scenes from the 

Boulevard” received nominations for the international awards at the 

following festivals; VIPER, Basel, Switzerland, October 2002, BACKUP 2002, 

new media in film, Bauhaus-University Weimar, November 2002, FIAV,

The Traffic - Lights Brothers 

Vëllezërit Semafor 

Fratelli Semaforo 

Simone Salvemini 

Italy/2002/Mini Dv/8’45” 

Two Albanian brothers landed in Brindisi with the huge wave of 

refugees in 1991.Under a bridge beside a water course in the city, 

there was a two way street so narrow that only one car could pass 

at a time. Intuitively the two brothers employed themselves as local 

traffic wardens, resolving the traffic problems under the bridge, a 

crucial point in the city’s traffic. After 12 years they are still there, 

indispensable but, yet, still illegal. 

Dy vëllezër shqiptarë shkuan në Brindisi me valën e madhe të 

refugjatëve të vitit 1991. Poshtë një ure, pranë një kanali të qytetit, 

ndodhej një rruge me dy kalime, që është kaq e ngushtë saqë vetëm 

një veture mund të kalojë. Duke ndjekur intuitën, ata bëhen me 

iniciativën e tyre police trafiku, duke zgjidhur kështu problemin e 

trafikut poshtë urës, e cila është një pikë kyçe në trafikun e qytetit. 

Edhe sot, pas dymbëdhjetë vitesh, ata janë po atje, të 

pazëvendësueshëm, por, megjithatë, të paligjshëm.

Vanishing 

Zhdukja 

Nestajanje 

Vladimir Perovic 

Serbia &Montenegro/2003/Beta/16’54” 

Serbia is getting old. Villages are becoming almost deserted. The 

population decreases, without being regenerated enough... The hero 

of our story is the loneliest little girl in the world. She has no 

company. She is the last pupil in the school. She is the last child in 

the village. Only old people down there, and an archaic kind of life. 

Her journey from her house to the school reveals around her the 

real string of motions, colors, sounds, objects, buildings, habits, 

faces, all which seems to be slowly fading to disappearance. The 

film tries to be a metaphor for vanishing of one nation. 

Serbia po plaket. Fshatrat janë zbrazur fare. Numri i popullsisë është 

në rënie, pa pasur mundësi të rigjenerohet… Heriona e historisë 

sonë është një vajza më e vetmuar në botë. Ajo nuk ka shokë e 

shoqe. Ajo është nxënësja e fundit e shkollës. Fëmija e fundit e 

fshatit. në Fshat kanë mbetur vetëm pleq dhe një jetesë arkaike. 

Udhëtimi i saj nga shtëpia për në shkollë na zbulon vargun e vërtetë 

të emocioneve, ngjyrave, tingujve, objekteve, godinave, zakoneve, 

fytyrave, të cilat të gjitha duket sikur po treten. Ky film përpiqet të 

jetë një metaforë për zhdukjen e një kombi.

And Now 

E Tash 

Yll Citaku 

Kosova/2002/Dv/13’ 

“And now…” is a visual expression searching for light, freedom and 

code for living. 

The expression starts with a politician and his empty words. Then it 

takes us in the past, in to the way of living which lasted for 

hundreds of years. Then there was a code for living. God is not 

going to change the condition of the people until people change 

themselves. It’s a fight. We have to wake up. 

“E tash…. “ është një shprehje pamore në kërkim të dritës, lirisë dhe 

kanunit të jetës. 

Shprehja fillon me një politikan dhe fjalët e tij boshe.Pastaj na çon 

në të shkuarën, në atë mënyrë jetese, e cila ka zgjatur për qindra 

vjet.Pastaj pati një kanun jete.Zoti nuk I ndryshon kushtet e jetesës 

për njerëzit nëse këta të fundit nuk I ndryshojnë vetë ato.Eshtë një 

luftë.Duhet të zgjohemi.

Engaged in memories, distanced from reality and deeply affected 

from “Asphilotrine” (Inexistent substance that is created in between 

brain cells by this specific state of mind) he is destined to live 

within himself wrapped around dreams, numbers, calculations and 

obsessions. This is the story of a man that lives within his psychosis 

deliberately affected by the vapors of sociological gravity. 

I zhytur në kujtime, i distancuar prej realitetit dhe nën ndikimin e

letrare e përbërë prej copëzave nga veprat e të tjerëve. I kushtohet 

punës së një poeti, dramaturgu, artisti dhe kineasti, Jean Cocteau.

Ten different fists while the voice of a referee counts the numbers 

towards the knock-out of a boxer. Clenched fists, secret fists, 

violent fists, hurting fists, fists of the memory and of the illusion... 

Dhjetë grushte të ndryshëm, ndërkohë që zëri i arbitrit numuron 

nokautin e një boksieri. Grushte të shtrënguar, grushte të fshehtë,

iluzionesh…

out of a personal uproar. Scenes of infinite innocence and an 

abstinence of human touch.

Relax 

Kaltrina Krasniqi 

Kosova/2003/DV/20’ 

This Inspector is a working class individual without a name. Lives in 

a strict discipline. Since the end of the war he never had a vacation, 

his boss forces him into one because it’s not in companies interest 

to pay taxes even if he never had a rest in four years. What will 

happen to an individual if he/she was granted freedom? 

Ky Inspektor është një një individ nga klasa punëtore, pa emër. 

Jeton me një disiplinë të rreptë. Qysh prej fundit të luftës nuk ka 

shkaur asnjëherë me pushime, dhe shefi i tij e detyron të shkojë me 

pushime sepse nuk është në interesin e firmës të paguajë taksa 

edhe atëherë kur ai nuk shkon me pushime për katër vjet me 

rradhë. Çfarë ndodh me dike kur fiton liri?

The Fall 

Rënia 

La Chute 

Jean Antoine Charest 

Canada/2002/Beta/12’55” 

This film is composed of dreamlike images which pay homage to 

the immense beauty of gestures glimpsed during a fall. The Fall is a 

filmic poem which foregrounds the vulnerable moment when one 

abandons oneself, topples, loses their footing or their grip. The act 

of falling will no longer be viewed in the same light; no two falls 

are the same, and The Fall captures the movement and life of the 

seemingly quotidien. 

Ky film përbëhet prej imazhesh ëndërrimtare të cilat i bëjnë 

homazh bukurisë së pa-anë të gjesteve të para gjatë një rënieje të 

thjeshtë. Rënia është një poezi filmike e cila paraqet çastin e brishtë 

të braktisjes së vetvetes, të humbjes së mbështetjes. Rënia nuk 

shikohet më në të njëjtin këndvështrim; dy rënie nuk janë njësoj 

dhe “Rënia” rrok lëvizjen dhe jetën e asaj që duket në pamje të parë 

si e zakonshme.

Amal Kenawy 

Egypt/2003/Beta/10’ 

When I Searched Within Myself I Began To Perceive Myself As An 

Independent Existence That Retains A Set Of Laws That Rule The 

Body As A Physical Being . However , This Self Does Not Represent 

Its True Essence Which Lies In Relation To My Reception Of Being 

And Nothingness —I Might Have A Beating Heart — A Heart That 

Functions Regularly , But I Cannot Confirm That I Am Alive . 

Emotions Inhabit This Human Frame And Make Of It A Vessel , A 

Form , A Liminal Space That Lies Between The Interior And Exterior.I 

Therefore Attempt To Tailor My Understanding — To Perceive The 

Human Self Within That Wider Context — To Exist Within These 

Abstracted Emotions That Fluctuate Between Memories And Dreams 

— The Reality We Experience. 

Kur pashë brënda vetes time fillova ta perceptoj vetveten si një 

qënie të pavarur që ka një grup ligjesh që qeverisin trupin si një 

qënie fizike. Megjithatë, kjo qënie nuk përfaqëson thelbin e saj të 

vërtetë, e cila gjendet në marrëdhënien me preceptimin tim si qënie 

dhe mosqënie. Mund ta kem një zemër që funksionon rregullisht, 

por nuk mund të them që jam gjallë. Emocionet jetojnë në këtë 

kornizë njerëzore dhe e kthejnë atë në një enë, një formë një 

hapësirë që shtrihet midis të brendshmes dhe të jashtmes. Atëherë, 

unë përpiqem të përshtas perceptimin tim për ta perceptuar 

vetveten njerëzore brënda këtij konteksti më të gjerë, për të 

ekzistuar brënda këtyre emocioneve abstrakte që qëndrojnë midis 

kujtimeve dhe ëndrrave, realiteti që përjetojmë.
