title: The Small Unit

title: Çeta e vogël

overview: Ngjarjet e filmit bazohen në fakte reale, konkretisht në historinë e heronjve të Vigut, pesë shokëve luftëtarë që u kapën dhe u ekzekutuan nga forcat gjermane në veri të Shqipërisë gjatë Luftës së Dytë Botërore. Historia përqendrohet te formimi dhe veprimtaria e një çete të vogël partizane, e cila, pavarësisht numrit të kufizuar të luftëtarëve, tregon vendosmëri, sakrificë dhe idealizëm në luftën kundër pushtuesve nazi-fashistë.  Filmi pasqyron jetën e vështirë të partizanëve, marrëdhëniet mes tyre, besimin tek çështja kombëtare dhe përballjen e vazhdueshme me rrezikun. Një theks i veçantë i vihet sakrificës personale, trimërisë dhe qëndresës morale, duke e paraqitur çetën si simbol të rezistencës antifashiste shqiptare. “Çeta e vogël” është vlerësuar si një film me karakter edukues dhe patriotik, tipik për kinematografinë shqiptare të asaj periudhe.

The Marriage charts the emotional predicament of the man who has strong feelings for two persons. There is great pressure to marry and only mild support for LGBTQ rights in Kosovan society, so Zeqiri’s film, which unashamedly puts same-sex and heterosexual passion on the same plane, is a forceful step in the right direction, as well as a dynamic portrait of romance and deception in the shadow of war.

Në qendër të filmit është Ilo Pinci, specialist i peshkut dhe midhjeve, njëkohësisht shahist i njohur, i cili shkon në një qytet të vogël bregdetar për të marrë pjesë në një simultane shahu. Pas këtij udhëtimi fshihet edhe dëshira e tij për të mbledhur të dhëna mbi kultivimin e midhjeve, çka e çon në përplasje me një specialist vendas, Sazanin. Ilo është i bindur se do t’i mundë lehtë shahistët e qytetit, por papritur humbet përballë Rudinës së vogël, vajzës së Sazanit, e cila simbolikisht përdor një midhje si mbretëreshë.

Filmi krijon situata të shumta humoristike dhe ironizon vetëbesimin e tepruar, duke përcjellë mesazhin se gjithmonë duhet “të matësh dy herë” para se të veprosh.

Le mullah proteste en disant qu'elles n'ont pas le droit d'entrer parce que leurs têtes ne sont pas couvertes, mais Vilma et sa collègue ont l'approbation du gouvernement. Elles découvrent que l'édifice était jusqu'en 1470 une église catholique, et qu'après que le bâtiment ait été transformé en mosquée, le grand vizir avait autorisé les catholiques à l'utiliser une fois par semaine. De sa manière simple et directe, Besnik suggère qu'on devrait remettre cette pratique en vigueur…

Младежът живее с майка си католичка и баща си, който е атеист и комунист. В селото на Бесник мюсюлмани и християни живеят в мир и сговор – дори след откритието, че старата джамия някога е била християнска църква, адептите на двете религии просто са продължили да споделят сградата без никакви конфликти.

Chiar și după ce se descoperă că vechea moschee a fost o biserică și că respectiva clădire adăpostea două religii în trecut, viața liniștită continuă, cu ajutorul lui Besnik. Totuși, după moartea tatălui său, schimbări drastice amenință familia lui Besnik și ciobanul este forțat să-și găsească propriul drum.

overview: Besnik is een eenzame herder en toegewijde moslim, gekweld door onvervulde liefde. Hij is de zoon van een katholieke moeder en voormalig communistische vader, voor wie hij zorgt in een Albanees dorp in de bergen. Hierboven hebben christenen en moslims een manier gevonden om vreedzaam naast elkaar te bestaan. Zelfs na de ontdekking dat de oude moskee vroeger een kerk was en dat het gebouw in het verleden feitelijk gedeeld werd door de twee religies, kan de rust van het dagelijkse leven bewaard blijven - met de hulp van Besnik. Na de dood van zijn vader bedreigen drastische veranderingen Besniks multireligieuze familie en wordt de herder gedwongen zijn eigen weg te zoeken.

title: Love Is Not Enough

name: Dashuria s'mjafton - Filmi i plote (with english subtitles)

type: Clip

overview: "Love Is Not Enough" directed by Drilon Hoxha's screenplay and photographs by Ashton Asllan, brought as an action movie intertwined with drama and intrigue. Love is not enough to achieve the set goals and is seen as an obstacle, and you have to make a pact with the world of crime and often sacrifice friends and family for ambition. The only value left to the human being is fading over time and is being replaced by the rebellious anger. The film illustrates a young man who regains freedom but does not divide that command and illuminated by an old professor who gives advice and commands from prison. The perpetrators and law of survival comes instinctively from the need of self-defense. A movie that makes us love more people, the world, nature, and respect lives more.

overview: "In The Moonless Night, the whole of Albania seems to head for the coast by train in order to emigrate to the West. So too is 16-year-old Rudina and her strict and secretive grandfather, who have left their village with that aim in mind. In the train, Rudina meets Gjergj, who is on his way with his friend Millo. The grandfather tries at all costs to keep the two away from each other, but is left powerless in the train when Rudina and Gjergj miss the train at the station. As they continue their journey on foot, they get to know each other better. When they reach the beach, the local Mafia is busy organising the smuggling of people and goods. When the train travellers arrive there too, it slowly becomes clear how much Rudina's grandfather tries to hide about his past and why he doesn't want the two young people to be together." - IFFR
