Greeting remark by the Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports.

Përshëndetja e Ministres së Kulturës, Rinisë dhe Sporteve.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

ARTA DADE

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.

Mendojme ndryshe, shohim njesoj

Dear friends,

Te nderuar miq,

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.

Kemi kenaqesine t’ju njoftojme per lindjen e nje film festivali te ri, Tirana International Film Festival.

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.

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.

Wishing you a good work,

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

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

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.

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.

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.

University of Prishtina, Kosova

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Via Tuscolana 1055 00187 Roma Tel. 06-729921 Fax 06-7221127 http://www.luce.it

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

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. r.sejko

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,

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”.

An anticipatory consideration of the new technologies made Luce be the first film company in the world to offer most of its archives on the internet for free research and viewing.

Apart from its archives, Istituto Luce has represented through the years one of the most important film producers and distributors in Italy. Today Luce distributes some 40 Italian or international films a year in theatres or Home Video.

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.

A film about the infantile wish to escape the consequences of our actions, and what happens when the practicalities of life such as other people’s desires, the force of gravity and babies intervene to complicate matters.

Një film mbi dëshirën foshnjore për t’iu larguar pasojave të veprimeve tona dhe asaj çfarë ndodh kur gjërat praktike të jetës si p.sh. dëshirat e të tjerëve, forca e rëndesës dhe ajo e fëmijëve ndërlikojnë gjërat më keq.

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.

A story about a man entangled in a past encounter, now met by a new situation which reminds him that he must move on.

Love, friendship...life: a wide debate.

Can an only man give answers to the big existential questions?

Does he want to shake the minds or is he merely mad?

But isn’t madness an excess of consciousness...

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.

This is the story of a political murder that goes unsolved in Taiwan, revealed without a line of dialogue, only four beautiful songs.

Historia e një vrasjeje politike të pazgjidhur në Tajvan, e paraqitur pa asnjë rresht dialogu, por vetëm me katër këngë të bukura.

Në një përpjekje për t’u pranuar në një vend të panjohur, jeta e një burri shpërbëhet përmes kalimit në një seri kujtimesh. Duke bërë pyetje që rrallë bëhen, intervistuesi zbulon një anë të errët dhe të rrezikshme të të intervistuarit. Ky film është një ekzaminim i fortë dhe i pazakontë i pushtetit shoqëror.

Dissillusioned with life and love, Jay goes on quest for higher meaning, only to discover what really pulls the strings of his heart.

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...

I zhgënjyer prej jetës dhe dashurisë, Jay i hyn kërkimit të një kuptimi më të lartë, duke zbuluar kështu se çfarë ia prek me të vërtetë telat e zemrës.

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 e nesërmja do të sjellë një ditë të re…

It is Ina Handel’s 58th 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.

A film about the misunderstanding of the news of September 11th.

A honest tail of a child in an uneasy situation after the misinterpreted news that the Serbs had committed the attacks. A funny situation that turns into an absurdity as consequences of the lack of information and misinterpretation of the news.

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.

Një film që bën fjalë për keqkuptimin e lajmit të 11 Shtatorit. Një histori e vërtetë e një fëmije mbi një situatë të pakëndshme pas keqinterpretimit të lajmit, që ishin sërbët ata që i kishin kryer sulmet. Një situatë qesharake që kthehet në një absurditet si pasojë e mungesës së informacionit dhe keqinterpretimit të lajmeve.

1937. Spanish Civil War. One Republican Army squad lies hidden in an isolated psychiatric hospital in the National Zone. Teresa, a young militia-woman, is waiting there for any news from her fiancé Santiago, who is been missing for months in the front of Madrid.

Pedro, one young assistant of the doctor who runs the hospital, is the only one who is willing to help her and to feed her hope, though he has to fall back on a lie.

In their journey where they try to find justice, revenge and redemption, two men emerge from the elevator having found tolerance.

Gjatë udhëtimit të tyre, në të cilin përpiqen për të arritur drejtësi, hakmarrje dhe dëmshpërblim, dy burra dalin nga një ashensor, pasi kanë arritur tolerancën.

1937. Lufta Civile e Spanjës. Një togë e Ushtrisë Republikane qëndron e fshehur në një spital të izoluar psiqiatrik në Zonën Kombëtare. Teresa, një malice e re, është në pritje të ndonjë lajmi prej të fejuarit të saj Santiago, i cili ka humbur me muaj në frontin e Madridit. Pedro, një asistent i ri i mjekut që drejton spitalin, është i vetmi që ka dëshirë ta ndihmojë dhe t’i ushqejë shpresën, edhe pse për këtë i duhet të gënjejë.

It is a story about a young kosovar Albanian rushing to work in the morning, going thru a particular street he starts hearing some noises which remind him of the past, and then starts the agony of the ’98,’99 conflicts in his mind from which he tries to run away.

Nicholas, a young autistic man, lives in a world dominated by his senses. He can focus acute attention on single elements in his surroundings. A twist of fate alters Nicholas’ perceptions. The way in which he experiences the world is changed permanently.

Historia e një të riu kosovar, i cili shkon me nxitim në punë në mëngjes dhe në një rrugë të caktuar dëgjon disa zhurma të cilat i kujtojnë të shkuarën. Dhe atëherë fillon agoninë e viteve ’98 dhe ’99, konfliktet në mendjen e tij, prej të cilave përpiqet të largohet.

Nicholas, një djalosh me probleme të zhvillimit mendor, jeton në një botë të dominuar prej shqisave. Ai mund ta përqëndrojë vëmendjen në elemente të veçanta të gjërave që e rrethojnë. Një lojë e fatit ndryshon perceptimet e Nicholas. Mënyra se si e përjeton ai botën do të ndryshojë një herë e përgjithmonë.

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.

Mind In her sincerity game At time Outside of it, Agitations between absurd and realty.

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.

Mendja Në lojën e saj të sinqertë Në kohë Jashtë vetvetes, Përzihet midis Absurdit dhe Reales.

Jack is reluctantly meeting up with his ex-lover. This rendezvous, however, is about more than his infidelity.

Rockpool is a contemporary slice of life with a strong sense of place, crossing three generations, where trivia is necessary communication and food is the common language.

Pa shumë qejf, Jack po takohet me ish të dashurën e tij. Megjithatë, ky rendezvous thotë diçka më shumë se tradhëtia e tij.

“Rockpool” është një pjesë jete bashkëkohore, me një sens të fortë vendi, duke kapërcyer tre breza, ku kotësitë janë komunikimi i nevojshëm dhe ushqimi është gjuha e përbashkët.

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.

A blind date between a lonely man and a misterious foreign lady.

Një takim i papritur dashurie midis një burri të vetmuar dhe një femre të huaj e misterioze.

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 gjithë fshatit.

The story of a pretended beggar, who hides half of his leg and begs for money in the street. One day his leg becomes gangrened and he has to cut it really. He is ready to give all the money he has gathered to rescue the other half of his leg.

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!

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 vërtetë atë. Ai është gati të japë të gjitha paratë që ka fituar për të shpëtuar gjysmën tjetër të këmbës.

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.

“The Number” is a fable about the life of a simple pencil. We will share his feelings, his fears and his dreams… because although you may not know, pencils also dream.

Një njeri sillet vërdallë një uzine të braktisur, i gatshëm të rrokë armën. Kapele, çizme, rrip mesi: i fundit i kaubojsave gjëndet përballë një sfide shumë të vështirë.

The staircase of her block of flats is where they meet. Kiss out about one another. One night, Herve makes a proposition, that both of them should run away to Normandy.

The visitor believes that love is easily destroyed. When he meets Isabel the destruction of her love for her husband becomes a greater challenge than he anticipated. He finds himself falling for her with tragic consequences.

Rachel, 15-vjeçe, ka rënë brënda me Herve, një nxënës i shkollës së mesme. Ata takohen tek shkallët e pallatit ku banon ajo. Puthen me njëri tjetrin. Një natë, Herve bën një propozim, që të dy të arratisen në Normandi.

Miku beson se dashuria mund të shkatërrohet me lehtësi. Kur ai njihet me Izabelën, shkatërrimi i dashurisë së saj për bashkëshortin kthehet në një sfidë më të vështirë nga ç’e priste ai. Në fund e kupton se i ka rënë në kokë për të, dhe kjo ka pasoja tragjike.

The men from a small village make a circle in the middle of the town square. In the middle of the circle, a fight between two rams...

Naa’ma, a fiery 28-years old redhead, comes home after a long stay abroad. She meets her cousin Eitan with whom she played under the fig tree as a child. The encounter awakens old memories and feelings. But this time it’s not child’s play...

Burrat e një fshati të vogël formojnë një rreth në mes të sheshit të qytetit. Në mes të rrethit, një ndeshje midis dy deshësh…

Naa’ma, një kuqe 28-vjeçare, kthehet në shtëpi pas një qëndrimi të gjatë jashtë shtetit. Atje takohet me kushëririn Eitan me të cilin kur ka qënë fëmijë, ka luajtur nën kurorën e fikut. Ky takim zgjon kujtime dhe ndjenja të vjetra. Por tani nuk ka më lojëra fëmijërie...

Margarida Leitão

Michel Vereecken

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.

In a small suburban studio, Paul edits X-movies, thousands of miles from his child dreams. As he steps out to go back home, a limousine stops and a highly recognized director asks Paul the favor to edit his first film.

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.

Në një studio të vogël në periferi, Paul bën montazh të filmave porno, çka qëndron shumë larg prej ëndrrave të tij të fëmijërisë.

Teksa bëhet gati të shkojë në shtëpi, vjen një limuzinë, prej së cilës del një regjizor shumë i famshëm, i cili i lutet Paul-it të montojë filmin e tij të parë.

Beryl Koltz 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 ».

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.

Në provincë një prift i moshuar është shumë i hidhëruar për thatësirën që i ka shkatërruar kopshtin e tij.

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.

He doesn’t stop resisting; he stands in the snow, in the silence, refusing to move.

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.

Nuk rresht së rezistuari; atje në bore qëndron, i heshtur, duke mos pranuar të lëvizë.

Në këtë botë kontrolli që na rrethon ngado është ndonjëherë i natyrshëm dhe madje përbën një shtysë për aktivitetin njerëzor.

Kameleoni i këtij filmi kërkon të bëjë të kundërtën. Ky është tipari i tij i natyrshëm. Ai dëshiron të përshatet me mjedisin që e rrethon në mënyrë që mos ta dallojë askush.

Peculiar scrutiny into the dreary flow of the reasonable man who is burdened with myths, desires, instincts, and via his very being, provokes the downfall of mythology and the mythology of downfall.

A mosquito falls in love with a vampire… A fable that shows how blind love is.

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.

A small awkward man, Bonni, lives only through his passion the sculpture and his model, which he can see only thanks to the passage of the elevator’s light, hang on his building’s frontage.

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.

An obsessive scorpion love that in the human analogy means violence, sex, fear from the females or perhaps… hidden matriarchy!

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.

Një dashuri akrepash që në analogjinë njerëzore do të thotë dhunë, seks, frikë prej femrave ose ndoshta… matriarkalizëm! Të jetosh ose të mos jetosh në një marrëdhënie do të thotë … e njëjta gjë.

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.

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...

This Film about one day in tram, about our LIFE Ky film bën fjalë për një ditë të zakonshme në tramvaj, për jetën tonë.

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….

Artur Dauti 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.

Pluton Vasi

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.

The artistic documentary brings up the inside history of Albania as it springs differently from and through the women’s destinies.

Ky film dokumentar na rrëfen historinë e brendshme të Shqipërisë, e përcaktuar prej fateve të grave.

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.

The real story of a Peruvian woman, Maria Jesus, immigrant in Italy and cheated by an immigrants dealer.

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 gur dhe arra palme. Një trashëgimi e një rituali të harruar.

Historia e vërtetë e një peruaneje, Maria Jesus, emigrante në Itali, e cila mashtrohet prej një tregtari emigrantësh.

A run down and over populated Parisien boulevard becomes the gigantic set to produce SCENES FROM THE BOULEVARD; a series of short digital films, one for every hour of the day, and all shot from a single point of view.

The door is still open on the old stone house of..”God’s Man” eighty – four years old Kolj Marc, one of the malisor notables, the VOIVODA of the numerous LJULJGURAJ local clan, more of the living in USA. His word is “The first and the last” and is obeyed unquestioningly.

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, FESTIVAL D’IMAGES ARTISTIQUES VIDEO, Tavira, Portugal, may 2003 and was nominated for the Prix de Creation Video 2003 at VIDEOFORMES, ClermontFerrand, France in March 2003

The internal clock tells the story of the unusual relation with time experienced by a religious watchmaker suffering from a condition causing him to age in appearance at half the rate of so-called “normal” person. His exceptional destiny intrigues...

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.

Ora e brendshme tregon historinë e një marrëdhënie të pazakontë me kohën, të përjetuar prej një orëndreqësi fetar, i cili vuan prej një sëmundjeje e cila e bën të plaket dy herë më ngadalë se një person të ashtuquajtur “normal”. Fati i tij i jashtëzakonshëm të bën kureshtar…

His documentary “ L’horloge Interne / The Internal Clock” is his first professionnal work as an independent director.

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

Serbia &Montenegro/2003/Beta/16’54”

Vladimir Perovic 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.

Yll Citaku

“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.

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.

“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.

I zhytur në kujtime, i distancuar prej realitetit dhe nën ndikimin e thellë të Asfilotrinës (një preparat i paqënësishëm që krijohet midis qelizave të trurit gjatë kësa gjendjeje mendore) ai është i destinuar të jetojë brënda vetvetes, i mbështjellë me ëndrra, numra, përllogaritje dhe fiksime. Kjo është historia e një njeriu që jeton brënda psikozës së tij, nën ndikimin e avujve të rëndesës sociologjike.

This experimental video takes the form of a cento — a literary work made up of parts from other works. It pays homage to the work of the poet, playwright, artist and filmmaker Jean Cocteau.

Two women meet for a duel. But instead of fighting each other themselves, they expel two men from their bodies. The two men do the fightting in place of the two women…

Kjo video eksperimentale merr formën e një centoje: një vepër letrare e përbërë prej copëzave nga veprat e të tjerëve. I kushtohet punës së një poeti, dramaturgu, artisti dhe kineasti, Jean Cocteau.

Dy gra takohen në një duel. Por, në vend që të luftojnë me njëra tjetrën, ato nxjerrin nga shtretërit e tyre dy burrat. Në vend të dy grave, atëherë lufrojnë dy burrat…

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...

Free Line is a collaborative project combining experimental animation with computer-generated sound.

Dhjetë grushte të ndryshëm, ndërkohë që zëri i arbitrit numuron nokautin e një boksieri. Grushte të shtrënguar, grushte të fshehtë, grushte të dhunshëm, grushte lëndues, grushte kujtese dhe iluzionesh…

“Free Line” është një projekt bashkëpunimi që bashkon animacionin me tingullin e realizuar me kompjuter.

Theme and variations on an excursion into the subconscious mind.

“Free your mind from the consciousness of all body weight. Free your mind from the consciousness of all body weight and just let go. Just let go, deeper and deeper and deeper.”

It is a story of hate and rage translated in little words that spring out of a personal uproar. Scenes of infinite innocence and an abstinence of human touch.

Temë dhe variacion mbi një udhëtim në mendjen e pandërgjegjshme. “Çliroje mendjen prej ndërgjegjes së peshës trupore. Çliroje mendjen prej ndërgjegjes së peshës trupore dhe lëre veten të lirë. Lëre veten të lirë, thellë e më thellë.”

The Fall Rënia La Chute

Kosova/2003/DV/20’

Canada/2002/Beta/12’55”

Kaltrina Krasniqi

Jean Antoine Charest

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?

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 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?

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 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.
