title: Drums of Resistance

overview: When ex-Yugoslavia began to fall apart, the Serbian regime banned Kosovar Albanians from participating in public life. Albanian employees across public institutions were fired. Albanian media outlets were closed down. Many elementary and high schools were closed to Albanian students and the entire university system was shut down. During the 1990's in Kosovo, teaching resumed in private apartments, houses and basements stores. This documentary shows how a parallel society and reality was organized. It shows how segregation and apartheid became the norm. Besa Luci and Mathieu Jouffre wrote the script for this challenging film together. In it people are in a relaxed atmosphere: eating, drinking, chatting and revisiting vividly one of the most exciting as well as tragic periods in the history of Kosovo.

title: Daullet e Rezistencës

overview: Au début des années 90, alors que l'ex-Yougoslavie est en train d'éclater, le régime de Milosevic introduit la loi martial au Kosovo et banni les Kosovars Albanais de la vie public. Les employés des institutions publiques sont renvoyés, les médias censurés et les écoles et universités fermées. Ainsi, un système parallèle s'organise au sein de la population kosovare albanaise et dont la pierre angulaire sera le système d'éducation. 'Drums of Resistance' raconte à travers le témoignage d'anciens étudiants, professeurs et parents comment s'organisa le maintient de l'enseignement au Kosovo, lorsque ségrégation et apartheid étaient devenu la norme.

title: I am Burrnesha. The last sworn virgins of Albania

overview: Patriarchal times in northern Albania gave birth to a phenomenon - the replacement of the man at the head of the household by a woman. These are masculine times, in which the woman is only tasked with taking care of the household and raising the children. But, locked in these social roles, girls emerge, ready to abandon their female identity and follow the path of honor. They want to be respected women with the power of a man, not for themselves, but for others. They give up marriage and sexual relations. They choose to live as men. The fall of the regime opened the country to the modern world, but neither communism nor the emerging democracy succeeded in changing the age-old traditions in the isolated mountainous regions of Albania. In the Cursed Mountains, to the north, the last sworn virgins in Europe today live a man`s life.

overview: In de patriarchale tijden in Noord-Albanië is een fenomeen ontstaan: de vervanging van de man aan het hoofd van het huishouden door een vrouw. Het zijn mannelijke tijden, waarin de vrouw alleen nog maar belast is met het huishouden en de opvoeding van de kinderen. Maar opgesloten in deze sociale rollen komen meisjes tevoorschijn, klaar om hun vrouwelijke identiteit op te geven en het pad van eer te volgen. Ze willen gerespecteerde vrouwen zijn met de kracht van een man, niet voor zichzelf, maar voor anderen. Ze geven het huwelijk en seksuele relaties op. Ze kiezen ervoor om als mannen te leven. De val van het regime opende het land voor de moderne wereld, maar noch het communisme noch de opkomende democratie slaagden erin de eeuwenoude tradities in de geïsoleerde berggebieden van Albanië te veranderen. In de Cursed Mountains, in het noorden, leven de laatste gezworen maagden van Europa vandaag de dag een mannenleven.

title: Η φωνή του σπιτιού

overview: Η Φωνή του σπιτιού διηγείται την ιστορία έξι ορκισμένων παρθένων, οι οποίες έχουν αποφασίσει να αναλάβουν τον κοινωνικό ρόλο των ανδρών για διαφορετικούς λόγους η κάθε μια. Για να παρακάμψουν τις πατριαρχικές δομές, να αποφύγουν μισογυνιστικές επιθέσεις, να υποστηρίξουν οικονομικά τις οικογένειές τους, να αποφύγουν τον καταναγκαστικό γάμο και για να είναι ελεύθερες. Οι χαρακτήρες μας εκφράζονται με οικειότητα καθώς μας μιλούν για τις ζωές τους και μας παίρνουν μαζί τους στο προσωπικό τους ταξίδι. Μιλούν για την ελευθερία και την καταπίεση, για την υπόσχεση να θυσιάσουν τη ζωή τους προκειμένου να διασφαλίσουν την επιβίωση των οικογενειών τους, αλλά και για την κατάργηση των αυστηρών έμφυλων ορίων και την ικανότητα του ανθρώπινου νου να αποφασίζει τι θέλουμε να είμαστε. Μια ταινία που ανατρέπει στερεότυπα και τις συζητήσεις για το φύλο, διευρύνοντας την αντίληψή μας για την ανθρώπινη ζωή και τις οικουμενικές συνθήκες της.
