Zdobywa prawo jazdy i wyrusza do miasta, aby sprzedawać domowej roboty ajvar. Ale nie myśli tylko o sobie. Mobilizuje inne kobiety i zakładają spółdzielnię rolniczą. Jednak w patriarchalnej wiosce, w której mieszka, jej ambicje i wysiłki nie są aprobowane. Fahrije walczy więc nie tylko o utrzymanie swojej rodziny, ale także przeciwko konserwatywnej społeczności, dla której samowystarczalna i niezależna kobieta jest nie do przyjęcia.

Quan les abelles de Fahrije deixen de produir mel, decideix treure's el permís de conduir i s'aventura a la ciutat per a vendre ajvar casolà en una botiga de comestibles local. La seva ingenuïtat i ambició posen a prova als habitants d'un poble conservador per naturalesa en el qual continuen vigents les nocions patriarcals i tradicionals de la societat.

title: Deza-Femijet (Kosovo 2000)

overview: Kosovo in the spring of 2000. Winter is over but in a meteorological sense only. Ruins and pain. The marks of devastation in the sunny landscape. Wounds that never heal, the hesitating , vague gestures of a new beginning. Paradoxes. In black and white, with the broken images of memory imprints in color. Two words: deca and fëmijët , they mean children in Serb and Albanian. These expressions have no place in the irrational dictionary of war. It is the children though who are the most defenseless victims of this war governed by mad hatred. Their suffering has become an indelible chapter of the chronicle at the end of the century, the dawn of the new millennium. Besarta, Violeta, Edmond and Valdrin, Miljana and Jelena are Albanian and Serb children, the film tells their story in black and white with color Super 8 images shot by the children themselves.

title: Sons of Cain

overview: "Sons of Cain" is set in a small village in northern Albania. In this place time is suspended and the severe rules of an old code (Kanun) still dictate the life and death of the inhabitants. A group of seven children obliged to live under this code meet and discuss the story of Cain and Abel. Creating their own dream space, partially consciously and partially not, they create an analogy between their own stories and Bible stories. Stuck on the fine line between reality and forgetfulness, this is one of the few chances they have to come to grips with their traumas and emotions.

title: Les enfants de Cain

title: Les enfants de Cain

overview: 'Sons of Cain' speelt zich af in een klein dorpje in het noorden van Albanië. Op deze plaats ligt de tijd stil en dicteren de strenge regels van een oude code (Kanun) nog steeds het leven en de dood van de inwoners. Een groep van zeven kinderen die verplicht zijn om onder deze code te leven, komen bijeen en bespreken het verhaal van Kaïn en Abel. Door hun eigen droomruimte te creëren, deels bewust en deels niet, creëren ze een analogie tussen hun eigen verhalen en Bijbelverhalen. Vastgelopen op de dunne lijn tussen realiteit en vergeetachtigheid, is dit een van de weinige kansen die ze hebben om grip te krijgen op hun trauma's en emoties.

title: Albania

overview: Made by the highly influential Russian cameraman Roman Karmen, this documentary vividly features Albanian life immediately after the communists came to power in 1944. The film is especially memorable since it’s missing much of the heavy socialist realism that marked Albanian doc making. Shortly after he completed the film, Karmen set off for Berlin to shoot the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.

title: Congratulations, Comrade Student!

overview: The story of Viktor Stratoberdha (1921-1991) mirrors many of Albania’s tragedies. Stradoberdha’s humorous, buoyant style led him to be one of the country’s most promising filmmakers. But after being denounced in 1956, he was expelled from the Kinostudio and sent into internal exile. In 1967, Stratoberdha directed a local theater play in which the economic five year plan was placed in a coffin. He was then jailed for the next two decades. Urime Shokë Studentë! is one of the surviving documentaries of Viktor Stratoberdha’s all too short career.

Within a year, Albania would create shock waves in the communist universe after Hoxha denounced Khrushchev at a 1960 Moscow party congress.

title: Ping Pong

overview: In the 1960s after Albania's break with the Soviet Union, the country became an unlikely satellite of communist China (Newsweek referred to the alliance as ‘Mediterranean Maoists’). Enver Hoxha called the bond between the two countries the ‘coming together of the 702 million’, China being the 700 million, Albania representing the two. In exchange for its chrome exports and introducing the 1971 resolution that got China into the United Nations, Albania received sustaining economic and military support. This short documentary focuses on the Chinese table tennis team’s friendship visit, which soon began to sour after US president Richard Nixon visited Beijing.

title: In the 11th Festival of Song

overview: No one knows why for certain, but from 1968 to 1973 communist Albania enjoyed a brief liberalisation in the arts. Banned books and Beatles records changed hands. Albania’s Nobel-nominated novelist Ismail Kadare wrote two of his most famed masterpieces, Kështjella (The Castle) (1970) and Kronikë në gur (Chronicle in Stone) (1971) during this period. The rock'n'roll and jazz arrangements featured in this concert documentary were the pretext that brought about the end to the artistic thaw. Several performers seen in the festival were sent to prison or internal exile. The portly, smiling music conductor, Gasper Çurçia, was later accused of forging bus tickets and executed.

title: Trial Against the Declassed from Poshnja, Berat January 6-7, 1978

overview: Perhaps the most chilling testament to the ruthlessness of Albania’s communist regime, this documentary presents a public trial in a packed cinema: four young men accused of industrial sabotage and listening to foreign music. In the finale, replicating the Stalinist show trials of the 1950s, the audience applauds the death sentences for two defendants, and long prison terms for the other two who absurdly also lose their voting rights. The ice cold Poshnja is a rarely-screened, forbidden film (it is not even listed on the Albanian archive website) and the sole directing effort of Albania’s leading film scholar, Abaz Hoxha.

title: On the Road to the Year 2010

overview: By 1980, Albania had broken with all the world’s superpowers. The isolation pushed the country into a corner. Industrial production slowed to a virtual standstill. Lines grew for bread, meat and milk. To inspire the typical socialist worker, this Kinostudio production highlighted the achievements of a model labourer who’s met his work goals thirty years into the future. Director Musliu ironically mirrors much of the ridiculous rhetoric that filled most of the era’s state-controlled media.

title: The Albanian Virgin

name: The Albanian Virgin - trailer | Officiële selectie Filmfestival Oostende 2022

overview: Albania, 1958. Luana, the daughter of a well respected man in the village, makes friends with Agim, who moved here after his family were banned from the city by the communists. Years later, their childhood friendship turns into teenage love, but without prospects. Luana’s father promised her in marriage to someone else when she was a child. When her father finds out about Luana and Agim’s love, he is furious and immediately arranges for his daughter to be married to the man he chose for her. Luana faces a dilemma: to flee with her lover to Germany, risking being caught by the communists and probably killed, or stay loyal to her family. A poignant love story set in dark times shaped by pressure from old traditions. A deeply human tale about freedom, which is the greatest good even if the price is loneliness.

Но отец Луаны уже очень давно обещал выдать дочь замуж за другого, поэтому, узнав о любви Луаны и Агима, он приходит в ярость.

Aus der Kindheitsfreundschaft wird Jahre später eine Jugendliebe, allerdings ohne Perspektive. Luanas Vater hat sie als Kind jemand anderem versprochen. Als ihr Vater von Luanas und Agims Liebe erfährt, ist er wütend und arrangiert sofort die Hochzeit seiner Tochter mit dem Mann, den er für sie ausgesucht hat. Luana steht vor einem Dilemma: Mit ihrem Geliebten nach Deutschland fliehen und riskieren, von den Kommunisten gefasst und wahrscheinlich getötet zu werden, oder ihrer Familie treu bleiben. Eine ergreifende Liebesgeschichte, die in dunklen Zeiten spielt, die durch alte Traditionen geprägt sind.

title: Gjama

overview: “Gjama” is a rarely practiced mourning ritual that was performed by Albanian men throughout the centuries. By shouting specific phrases and acting out a strict choreography, it is a way of paying respect to the deceased but also overcoming grief and pain over the loss of a loved one. Through the documentation of the re-enactment of the ritual, Zgjim Elshani seeks to recover fragments of the practice in the communities where this form of collective grieving is still a way of overcoming loss. By doing so, the project intends to rethink collective grieving and what it means to publicly display emotions in a male-headed society.

overview: When it left, death didn't even close our eyes centers on the testimonies of laborers working in Kosovo’s construction industry. They attest to how this precarious and unregulated labor market has serious human costs to those that have to seek its employment. Speaking of how they are expected to work hours—from 12, 13, 15, even up to 24 hours—and in conditions far beyond prescribed regulations or normal human expectations. One of the primary consequences is a high rate of injury, which then precludes future work in the industry—some workers even admit that they would rather face death than lose the ability to earn a living.
