Â

This is the story of a Bulgarian boy who grows up to be a German man. After a car accident Alex can't remember even what his name is. In an attempt to cure him from amnesia, his grandfather Bai Dan comes to Germany and organizes a spiritual journey for his grandson back into his past, to the country where he came from. While travelling across time and place and crossing half of Europe, they play backgammon, the simplest, and yet the most complex of all games. This game leads Alex to a realization of who he is, and that backgammon is a key to his story. Destiny is the dice we hold in our own hands and life is a game somewhere between chance and skill.

Â

Kjo eshte historia e nje djali bullgar i cili rritet e behet burre Gjerman. Pas nje aksidenti me makine, Alex nuk mban mend as edhe emrin e tij. Ne nje perpjekje per ta kuruar nga amnesia, gjyshi i tij Bai Dan vjen ne Gjermani dhe organizon per te nipin nje udhetim spiritual ne te shkuaren, ne vendlindjen e tij. Teksa udhetonin perreth kohes dhe vendeve duke kaluar keshtu gjysmen e Evropes, ata luajne tavell, loja me e lehte dhe njekohesisht me kompleksia e lojrave. Kjo loje e udheheq Aleksin drejt te kuptuarit "kush eshte ai" dhe kjo loje tavell eshte celesi i historise se tij. Fati eshte nje zar te cilin mbajme ne dore dhe jeta eshte diku midis shansit dhe zotesise.

Josef Bárta came into the world with the prophecy that he'd be dead at age 29. Just as his 29th birthday is approaching, his wife leaves him with their son in tow. To make matters worse, Josef loses his job. Despite having repaired precision scales his whole life, his own existence is suddenly thrown completely out of balance. A curious friendship with free-spirited Gabriel introduces new impulses - and troubles - into Josef's life. But it looks as if love, in the form of the beautiful Oliva, may offer liberation.... "What interested me most about the project was the conflict between individual free will and predestination," states director Ivo Trajkov about his movie parable, freely inspired by a Božena Němcová story and moral dilemmas à la Krzysztof Kieślowski. The director treats the tale's protagonist as an ordinary person who has yet to excel at anything in life, yet although he finds it difficult to reflect on his own situation, he still manages to see it with earnestness and humility. But is this enough to change his fate?

Â

Josef Barta erdhi ne kete bote me profecine qe thosh se ai do te vdese ne moshen 29 vjecare. Teksa ditelindja e tij e 29te po afronte, gruaja e le ate dhe djalin e tyre ne perkujdesje te tij. Per me keq akoma, Josefi humbet punen. Pavaresisht se eshte kujdesur me precizion dhe vene ne peshore cdo hap, befas, ekzistenca e tij duket e hedhur krejtesisht jashte balances. Nje miqesi kurioze me Gabrielin sjell ne jeten e Jozefit impulse dhe peripeci te reja. Por duket sikur dashuria, ne formen e bukuroshes Olivia mund te ofroje shpetim … "Cfare me ka interesuar me shume ne kete projekt eshte konflikti midis deshires se lire individuale dhe fatit te paracaktuar", deklaron regjisori Ivo Trajkov mbi kete film parabolikisht te inspiruar nga historia e Bozena Nemcova's dhe dilemat morale sipas Krzystof Kieslowskit. Regjisori e trajton ngjarjen e protagonistit si ate te nje njeriu te zakonshem i cili duhet te shkelqeje ne gjithcka qe ben ne jete, megjithate, megjithese ndesh ne veshtiresi, ai vazhdon ta shohe cdo situate me perfitim dhe perultersi. Por a eshte kjo mjaft per te ndryshuar fatin e tij?

HELLSINKI/RÖÖPERI/HELSINKI

Finland, 2009, 35mm, Color, 133 min, Finnish

Director: Aleksi Mäkelä

Script: Marko Leino Cinematography: Pini Hellstedt Sound: Jyrki Rahkonen Music: Kalle Chydenius Editing: Kimmo Taavila

Cast: Samuli Edelmann, Peter Franzen,Pihla Viitala, Kari Hietalahti, Juha Veijonen, Jasper Pääkkönen, Pekka ValkeeÄrvi, Hiskl GrÖnstrand, Tommi RantamÄki, Kristo Salminen, Kalle Holmberg, Leena Uotila, Pirkko Mannola

Producer: Markus Selin, Jukka Helle

Hellsinki is based on an interview novel (Rööperi - The years of crime 1955 - 2005), written by Harri Nykänen and Tom Sjöberg. The book describes the old days of one of the most notorious parts of Helsinki. The film is set between 1966 and 1979. Besides the journey of Tomppa and Krisu, the main characters of the film, Rööperi tells the story of Gypsy Kari, Arska, Bisquit, Uki and a bunch of other bad boys and criminals; it tells of their memorable and unscrupulous journey from crime and poverty to becoming respectable citizens, going to jail—or dying too young. The wrong side of the law is seen through the eyes of Koistinen, a local police officer. The guys who fall into a life of crime have one thing in common: they all start by bootlegging, being sure money is an answer to all their problems. Money is a way out of a miserable life; it is a way to happiness and their modest dreams. They can stop doing criminal business as soon as they get enough money. When the guys start making more money with black-market booze, their hunger and their dreams grow bigger. Even though the reality Rööperi is portrayed as rather rugged and rotten, we can see both warmth and humor in the characters walking the streets of Rööperi; these qualities will make the audience love them. The audience will cry and laugh with them—and for them.

Â

Hellsinki eshte bazuar ne nje novele-interviste (Rooperi - Vitet e Krimit 1955-2005) shkruar nga Harri Nykanen dhe Tom Sjoberg. Libri pershkruan te shkuaren e distriktit me te erret te Helsinkit. Ngjarja zhvillohet rreth viteve 1966 and 1979. Pervec udhetimit te Tomppa dhe Krisu (karakteret kryesore te filmit), Hellsinki tregon historine e disa karaktereve Gypsy si Kari, Arska, Bisquit, Uki dhe nje bande djemsh kriminele; tregon per udhetimin e tyre te paskrupullt po aq sa edhe mbreselenes nga rruga e krimit dhe varferise ne ate te kthimit ne qytetare te respektuar. Vajtja ne burg ose vdekja ne moshe te re, keto jane opsionet. Ana e keqe e ligjit shikohet ndermjet syve te Koistien, nje officer policie i zones. Djemte, te cilet bien ne rrugen e krimit kane nje gje te perbashket: te gjithe e fillojne te sigurt qe paraja eshte zgjidhja e te gjitha problemeve te tyre. Paraja eshte e nje mjet per ti nxjerre jashte kesaj jete mizore; eshte nje menyre drejt lumturise dhe endrrave te tyre modeste. Ata s'do te merren me me pune kriminale sapo te mbledhin para te mjaftueshme. Kur djemte fillojne te bejne para me kontrabande alkoli, pangopesia per me shume dhe endrrat e tyre rriten gjithmone e me shume. Megjithse ky realitet i portretizuar nga Hellsinki eshte si i shqyer e i kalbur, ne mund te shohim po aq ngrohtesi dhe humor ne karakteret e rrugetareve te filmit; keto kualitete do ta bejne audiencen ti doje ata. Audienca do te qaje dhe gajaset me ta - dhe per ta.

Screenplay : Tizza Covi Photography : Rainer Frimmel Sound : Tizza Covi

Editing : Tizza Covi Cast : Patrizia Gerardi, Walter Saabel, Tairo Caroli, Asia Crippa

Producer: Rainer Frimmel - Vento Film

Â

Abondoned in a park, the two-year-old girl Asia is found by Patti, a circus woman living with her husband Walter in a trailer park in San Basilio on the outskirts of Rome. With the help of Tairo, a teenager who lives with his grandma in an adjacent container, Patti starts to search for the girl's mother and gives the girl a new home for an uncertain period of time. La Pivellina is a film about a cosmos of outcasts in present-day Italy: a moving tale of courage and discrimination, of loss and togetherness, a look behind the corrugated-iron fence of a gated community.Â

Â

E braktisur ne nje park, vajza 2 vjecare Asia gjendet nga Patti, nje akrobate cirku e cila jeton me te shoqin Walter ne nje karavan ne San Basilio ne rrethinat e Romes. Me ndihmen e Tairos, nje adoleshent i cili jeton me gjyshen e tij ne nje tjeter rulote aty afer, Pati fillon te kerkoje te emen e Asias dhe e strehon vajzen per nje periudhe te pacaktuar kohe. La Pivellina eshte nje film mbi boten e te perbuzurve ne Italine e sotme: nje histori prekese mbi kurajon dhe diskriminimin, humbjen dhe bashkimin, nje shikim pertej gardhit mbrojtes te komunitetit te mbrojtur.

On a hot summer day in Poland, a group of people walk through a run-down steel mill. They are actors, from a theater in Prague, and they're here to rehearse for a performance to be held in the space the next day. There are a few workers still on the job at this mill, the only living creatures left. They pay the actors little attention at first, pre-occupied with a personal tragedy: the day before, the son of a maintenance man fell from a catwalk and seriously injured his spine. Their interest is in his fate. Amid remnants of old machinery and old junk, the rehearsal begins. It is an adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky's "The Brothers Karamazov": specifically concerned with the trial for the murder Old Karamazov. All the while they are rehearsing, the "real world" of the workers remains at the edges of the performance, the tragedy they're experiencing striking similar chords as events within the play, until the two threads become inextricably knotted.

Â

Ne nje dite te nxehte vere ne Poloni, nje grup njerezish ecin midis nje fabrike te rrenuar celiku. Ata jane aktore, nga teatri i Prages, dhe jane ketu duke bere prova per nje shfaqje e cila mbahet po aty te nesermen e kesaj dite. Atje jane edhe disa punetore akoma te punesuar ne kete fabrike dhe te vetmet krijesa te mbetura te saj. Ne fillim ata nuk i kushtojne shume rendesi aktoreve, te preokupuar me tragjedite e tyre personale. Nje dite me pare djali i brigadierit ra nga nje pasarele dhe demtoi keq shtyllen kurrizore. Interesi I tyre eshte tek fati. Midis makinerive te amortizuara dhe mbeturinave provat fillojne. Eshte nje adaptim i Dostojevskit "Vellezerit Karamazov" specifikisht i lidhur me gjyqin mbi vdekjen e Karamazovit te vjeter. Gjate tere kohes se provave " bota reale" e punetoreve mbetet ne kufijte e shfaqjes, tragjedia te cilen ata po e perjetojne ngjan shume me ngjarjet e shfaqjes teatrale, derisa te dy thurjet behen nyje te pa shthuruara.

Â

Some people find her removed from reality. Her older sister, Katia, even thinks she's stupid. But this is only a first impression, perhaps the result of her subconscious desire to remain a child. Or perhaps, her strange behaviour is a defence against the uninspiring life she leads, a cruel existence shared with her sister and mother. Having emigrated from Russia some years previously, her mother tries to build up a life in Amsterdam and is drawn into the world of prostitution. Slowly, oldest daughter Katia follows her mother into the same obscure world. Our heroine, Katia's Sister, adores her older beautiful sister Katia, but she is getting more and more lonely, having nobody to share her feelings with. Although her surroundings are harsh, she does not judge. She continues to see the world in an unconditional and even loving manner. Despite her non-judgemental attitude, she becomes increasingly isolated, creating her own protective universe in which she sacrifices a lot, even her own name, referring to herself only as "Katia's Sister."

Â

Disa njerez e shohin ate te shkeputur krejtesisht nga realiteti. Bile, motra e saj e madhe, Katia, mendon se ajo eshte budallacke. Por ky eshte vetem impresioni i pare, ndoshta ky eshte rezultati i deshires se pandergjeshme se saj per te mbetur femije. Ose ndoshta, sjellja e saj e cuditshme eshte nje mbrojtje kundrejt jetes jo interesante qe ajo ben, nje ekzistence mizore e ndare me motren dhe te emen e saj. E emigruar nga Rusia disa vite me pare, e ema mundohet te ndertoje nje jete te re ne Amsterdam dhe eshte e terhequr ne boten e prostitucionit. Gradualisht, edhe vajza e saj me e madhe, Katia, ndjek te emen ne kete rruge te erret. Heroina jone, motra e Katia's, e adhuron motren e saj bukuroshe por ajo po ndihet gjithmone e me shume vetem, duke mos patur askend per te ndare ndjenjat e saj. Megjithese gjithcka e rrethon eshte e eger ajo nuk fajeson.Vazhdon ta shikoje boten ne menyre te pakushtezuar, deri me dashuri. Pavaresisht gjykimit jofajesues apo pozitiv, ajo behet gjithmone e me e izoluar duke krijuar universin e saj mbrojtes ne te cilin ajo sakrifikon shume, deri edhe emrin e saj duke ju referuar vetes vetem si "Motra e Katia's".Â

Â

Twenty-two-year-old Koli is studying at Tirana University. When he hears of his father's death, he returns to his native mountain village in the north to attend the funeral. During a walk through the countryside of his childhood, someone takes a shot at him. In a state of shock, the young man discovers that he is part of a blood feud sparked by his grandfather sixty years earlier. He goes to see the family to whom, according to custom, he owes his life - and, in doing so, he makes the acquaintance of the murderer whom fate has determined will take it. Away from his modern urban environment, Koli suddenly finds himself in a world of ancient, inexorable rituals, from which he is unable to extricate himself even after his return to Tirana. How deeply entrenched in people are the traditions of their forebears? And to what extent are they able to accept them as part of their modern, superficial lifestyle? How far-reaching is the perception of one's own destiny and affinity with one's roots? Director Artan Minarolli dedicated his film drama to the eighty-six illegal immigrants who drowned off the coast of Italy during an attempt to flee their native country in March 1997.

Â

Koli, 22 vjeçar, studion gjuhësi në Universitetin e Tiranës por, sipas kanunit të vjetër të Lek Dukagjinit, mbi të bie hakmarrja për një vrasje që ka kryer gjyshi i tij para 60 vjetësh. Koli merr guximin të udhëtojë drejt fshatit të thellë malor ku jeton familja e cila pretendon të hakmerret ndaj tij. Jeta e nje djali te ri merr nje drejtim te papritur. Ligjet e Kanunit jane te egra, negociatat per paqe nuk funksionojne. Endrra e tij per tu shkolluar dhe per tu integruar ne shoqerine civile shkaterrohet. Ai perjeton ankthe te medha, derisa vjen casti kur ai perballet me vrasesin e tij... Regjisori artan Minarolli ia dedikon kete film drames se 86 emigranteve ilegale te cilet u mbyten ne brigjet e Italise gjate nje eksodi ne vitin 1997.

In the war, in a town under siege, a platoon called the Blacks has to be dissolved because the truce has been signed. Commander Ivo is preparing the action of pulling the bodies of his three men from the woods and at the same time, despite the truce, wants to blow up a damp and thus inflict damages to the enemy. The surviving platoon members go into action and find the enemy in the woods where they least expected - in themselves.

Â

During the shooting breaks, Delia has long talks with her parents - that eventually turn into ugly arguments. The discussion is about what they should do with the car: Delia wants to keep it for herself, while her parents would like to sell it and escape in this way from poverty. The argument becomes more tensed, while the shooting becomes more stupid and absurd. What seemed to be at the beginning a lucky event becomes for Delia an extreme and emotionally painful situation, in which she has to rethink and question her family relationship.

Â

Gjate pushimit te xhirimeve, Delia bisedon gjate ne telefon me prinderit e saj, nje bisede qe eventualisht kthehet ne grindje te shemtuar. Biseda ben fjale per ate c'ka ata duhet te bejne me makinen. Delia ka deshire ta mbaje per vehte teksa prinderit duan ta shesin qe te shpetojne nga varferia. Grindja keqesohet edhe me shume ndersa xhirimet behen me absurde dhe pa sens. Cfare fillimisht dukej nje shans, behet per Delian nje situate ekstreme dhe e dhimbshme ne te cilen ajo duhet te rimendoje ceshtjen e marredhenies se saj familjare.

The young muezzin Musa visits Istanbul for the first time in his life when he is assigned to a mosque in Galata, Istanbul. Musa is lodged in to an apartment provided for him. His next door neighbors are Sister Anna and Clara who is taking care of her. An excitement and at the same time, a warm kind of sensation is emerged through the encounter of Clara, whose life is stuck between home and church and Musa, who comes to Istanbul to start a new life. At the beginning he was even hesitant to confess himself, but by the time passes, the young muezzin's love for Clara pervades all his life. Another story emerges when Musa and Yakup, who is a bibliopole, come across at the church which Clara attends regularly. Little surprises come out of the stories of three intersecting lives -Clara, Musa the muezzin and Mr. Yakup the bibliopole. Yakup, who belongs to an aristocrat family residing in Galata, Clara who is half- Italian and muezzin Musa… Sometimes bitter, sometimes joyful stories of the three lives generate the warm atmosphere of "Wrong Rosary".

Myftiu i ri Musa, vizitoi per here te pare ne jeten e tij Stambollin kur ai ishte caktuar ne xhamine Galata. Musa jeton ne nje apartament te siguaruar per te nga xhamia.

Nje eksitim dhe njekohesisht nje lloj sensacioni i ngrohte lind ndermjet takimit me Klaren, jeta e seciles eshte mbyllur midis shtepise dhe kishes dhe Muses, i cili erdhi ne Stamboll per te filluar nje jete te re. Ne fillim ai heziton tia rrefente edhe vetvetes, por me kalimin e kohes dashuria e Myftiut te ri per Klaren dominoi jeten e tij. Nje histori tjeter lind kur Musa dhe Yakupi i cili eshte nje (bibliopole-koleksionist i librave te rralle) takohen ne kishen ku shkon Klara regullisht. Surprisa te vogla dalin nga historite e kytyre 3 jeteve te nderprera. Yakup - koleksionisti, i cili i perket nje familjeje aristokrate me qendrim ne Galata, Klara, e cila eshte gjysem italiane dhe Musa - Myftiu i ri… Nganjehere te hidhura, nganjehere te gezueshme, historite e ketyre 3 jeteve gjenerojne nje atmosfere te ngrohte te nje "Rruzareje te gabuar".Â

Holy Saturday. The fireworks for the Resurrection ceremony are the reason an old dark hostility between Luan and Thymios is rekindled. The foreigner and the local, the atheist and the religious man, pigheadedness and righteous anger. Our story ends in a tragedy. Its victim is Haris, the child of immigrants. Both Albanian and Greek, Christian and Muslim, he gets between them to help but the mountain is tall and it's IN FRONT. Â

E shtune e bekuar. Fishekzjarret e ceremonies se Ringjalljes jane arsyet pse nje armiqsi e vjeter dhe te erret midis Luanit dhe Thymios perseritet.

Bosnia, 1997. Four women, two old ladies, four girls, an old man and a boy live in the war torn village of Slavno. Their families have been killed and their bodies never found. Living with the presence of their missing loved ones, the women have created a very special world, one in which the absent are nevertheless present. Trying to keep themselves alive by keeping all memories and their dreams, they have made a dreamland out of their village without even being aware of it. Slavno is remote from the rest of the world,but the fi rst snow brings the threat of total isolation. As it gets closer, Alma, a stubborn young woman in her late twenties, believes they can not only survive but even prosper by selling plum jam and other fruit and vegetable products on a deserted road. Two businessmen unexpectedly visit Slavno demanding the residents to leave the village off ering money in return. The villagers face a dilemma: should they accept the offer that could save their lives but destroy their souls? A sudden storm traps the businessmen in Slavno, forcing them to face a problem bigger than anything they expected - the truth.

Unemployed friends Doka and Bonza haven't managed to gain a foothold in the new economic climate. They liven up their inactivity with infantile distractions. Big shots from the former regime have meanwhile built up new careers, having caught the crest of the privatization wave. Adopting the appropriate cynicism and employing mafia tactics, they line their pockets and reinforce their position. Matanov and Tsonchev are contenders as intermediaries in the sale of an ironworks in Sinistra, which a Greek client has his eye on. Both want to get as much as possible out of this transaction, even at the cost of doing away with the competition. The rivals assign trustworthy consultants to engineer the venture, who then appoint compromised flunkies to get the job done. In a wholly random selection, the role of anonymous pawns is entrusted to Doka and Bonza. With a lucrative reward in their sights, they set off for Sinistra, unaware of what they are getting themselves into.

Â

Miket e papuna Doka dhe Bonza nuk arriten te stabilizoheshin ne kete krize te re ekonominke. Ato e kane jetuar kete kohe pasiviteti me shperqendrim feminor. Nderkohe qe nje kategori tjeter te mbijetuarisht nga regjimi i meparshem pasi kane shfrytezuar mire valen e privatizimeve kane ndertuar karriere e pasuri. Duke adoptuar cinicizmin e duhur dhe duke perdorur taktika mafioze ata mbushin xhepat dhe perforcojne pozitat. Matanov dhe Tsonchev jane konkurente per ndermjetesim ne shitjen e fabrikes se hekurit ne Sinistra te ciles ia ka vene syrin nje klient Grek. Te dy synojne te marrin maksimumin e mundshem nga ky transaksion, edhe nese eleminohen nga konkurimi. Te dy rivalet kane marre konsulente te besueshem per te projektuar kete plan, te cilet me pas caktojne servile te kompromentuar per te mbaruar pune. Ne shorteun seleksionues roli i putrave anonime i besohet Dokes dhe Bonzes. Me cmimin e papare ne perspektive ata nisen per ne Sinistra te papergatitur per c'ka i pret.

Co-producers: Fabienne Vonier, Valerio de Paolis, Cemal Noyan, Nuri Bilge Ceylan

Ceylan focuses his camera on four characters, a couple and their son plus the husband's boss, showing how the family opts to stick together by playing blind, deaf and dumb to problems that should in all logic split them apart. A family dislocated when small failings blow up into extravagant lies battles against the odds to stay together by covering up the truth... In order to avoid hardship and responsibilities that would otherwise be impossible to endure, the family chooses to ignore the truth, not to see, hear or talk about it. But does playing Three Monkeys invalidate the truth of its existence? Ceylan fokuson kameran e tij ne kater karaktere: nje cift, djali i tyre dhe pronari i burrit, dhe tregon se si opsioni i familjes per te vazhduar te qendroje bashke duke bere te verbrin, te shurdhin dhe budallane ndaj problemeve duhet llogjikisht ti ndaje ata. Nje familje e shperndare kur deshtimet te vogla shperthejne ne genjeshra ekstravagante, qe lufton kunder cdo gjase per te qendruar se bashku duke mbuluar te vertetat. Per te menjanuar veshtiresite dhe pergjegjesite te cilat perndryshe do ishin te pamunduara per t'u perballuar, familja zgjedh te injoroje te verteten, mos te shohe, degjoje apo flase mbi te. Por a mundet qe duke luajtur 3 Majmune mbivleresohet e verteta e ekzistences se saj?

Tanya is 35, with successful career. Her husband Mare is an architect. On Friday, Tanya comes home late at night. Mare confronts her and they exchange some edgy words: Mare is clearly jealous, he loses control of himself and slaps her in the face. Obviously, it is not the first such incident. Tanya locks herself in the bathroom. They continue their conversation over the locked doors. Mare calms down but when Tanya comes from bathroom, he becomes abusive again. The noise wakes up a neighbor who reports them to the police. The police arrive and the couple calms down. When the police leave, the couple resorts to psychological abuse. What follows is the night of hateful and skilful twisting of words that unveils, step by step, all the dark secrets of their relationship. Behind a façade of a successful couple, there are suppressed feelings of inferiority, weaknesses, deceit, frustration and traumas from their youth.

Â

Slumdog Millionaire is the story of Jamal Malik (Patel), an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika (Pinto), the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show¹s questions. Each chapter of Jamal¹s increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show¹s seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out.

Â

"Milioneri i rrugeve" - eshte historia e Jamal Malikut nje 18vjecari - jetim nga getot e Mumbait, i cili po perjeton diten me te rendesishme te jetes se tij.

Â

In Rome, at dawn, when everyone is sleeping, one man is awake. That man is Giulio Andreotti. He's awake because he has to work, write books, move in fashionable circles and, last but not least, pray. Calm, crafty and inscrutable, Andreotti is synonym of power in Italy for over four decades. At the beginning of the Nineties, this impassive yet insinuating, ambiguous yet reassuring figure appears set to assume his seventh mandate as Prime Minister without arrogance and without humility. Approaching seventy, Andreotti is a gerontocrat who, with all the attributes of God, is afraid of no one and does not know the meaning of awe, since he is accustomed to seeing it stamped on the faces of all his interlocutors. His satisfaction is muted, impalpable. For him, satisfaction is power, with which he has a symbiotic relationship. Power the way he likes it. Unwavering and immutable, from the outset. He emerges unscathed from everything: electoral battles, terrorist massacres, slanderous accusations. He is untouched by it all, unchanging. Until the strongest counter power in Italy, the Mafia, declares war on him. Then things change. Perhaps even for the enigmatic, immortal Andreotti. But the question is: do they really change or only appear to? We can be sure of one thing: it is difficult to tarnish Andreotti, the man who knows the ways of the world better than any of us.

Il Divo

Rome. Muzg.Teksa gjithkush fle, nje burre rri zgjuar. Ky burre eshte Xhulio Andreoti. Ai rri zgjuar pasi i duhet te punoje, te shkruaje libra, te merret me njerez te rendesishem dhe se fundmi por jo e fundit, atij i duhet t'i lutet apo falet Zotit. I qete, i zoti dhe i paskrupullt, Andreoti eshte sinonim i fuqise ne Itali per rreth 4 dekada. Ne fillim te viteve 90 kjo figure sa pa emocion aq edhe intuitive, sa e dyshimte aq edhe e sigurte, pa arrogance dhe pa modesti, shfaqet e sigurt ne marrjen e mandatit te tij te 7 si kryeminister. Ne prag te te 70tave Andreoti eshte nje i plotfuqishem, i cili megjithe respektin ne Zot, nuk ka frike nga as kush dhe as nuk e njeh sensin e adhurimit, perderisa eshte mesuar ta shohe ate te stampuar ne fytyrat e interlokutoreve te tij. Sadisfaksioni i tij eshte i pazeshem dhe pa dridhje qepiku. Per te sadisfaksioni eshte Pushteti me te cilen ai ka nje marredhenie simbolike. Pushteti edhe cka i pelqen atij. E padorezueshme dhe e pandryshueshme prej fillimit.Ai del i pademtuar nga asgje: fushatat elektorale, masakrat terroriste apo akuzat gjyqesore. Ai eshte i paprekur nga asgje, i pandryshueshem derisa kunderfuqia me e forte ne Itali , Mafia, i shpall lufte. Gjerat ndryshojne, ndoshta edhe per nje njeri enigmatik si Andreoti. Por pyetja eshte: A ndryshojne vertet gjerat apo vetem duket sikur? Por duhet te jemi te sigurt per nje gje: Eshte veshtire ti nxjerresh bojen Andreotit, njeriut i cili i njeh me mire se cdonjeri prej nesh rruget e botes.

Â

The movie opens with the shootings of some gangsters whilst relaxing in a tanning salon. The movie then intertwines five separate stories of Italians whose lives are touched by organized crime. Don Ciro (Gianfelice Imparato) is a timid middleman, who distributes money to the families of imprisoned clan members. When making a delivery, he is ambushed by two angry clan members with an obvious grudge against their fellows; there is a feud within the clan. Wanting to save his own skin, he later offers to defect to their side. They explain to him their families were murdered by the clan and want retribution, and that they have no need for a money-carrier. Instead, Ciro leads them to the location where he is given the money for distribution. The pair raid the place, killing everyone but Ciro, and take the money. Ciro quietly walks off to an uncertain future.

Editor: Patrizio Marone

Composer: Franco Piersanti

Â

Leila is a girl who uses her glamour to approach rich men and to rob them; Francesco is a depressed bored bus driver who has the bad habit of gambling and a lot of debts on the horizon. They are two characters that spend their days in the streets of a spider's web-deceiving metropolis. Suddenly, a series of misunderstandings leads Leila and Francesco in a story of blackmails, chases and traps. The stakes are: a hot document and a suitcase full of money. While a host of politicians, blackmailers, unlucky bar beaters, jazz-loving emissaries and hypochondriac hired killers come up against them, Leila and Francesco start to think that they could pay the most beautiful trip towards a new life with that money…

Based on the homonymous novel by Giampiero Rigosi, published in Italy by Einaudi StileLibero Noir, in France by Gallimard Série Noir, in Germany by Grafit Verlag and in UK by Bitter Lemon Press in a forthcoming issue, an ironic and brilliant noir, presented like a genre classic.

Â

Leila eshte nje vajze e cila e perdor sharmin e saj per te terhequr burra te pasur dhe per ti grabitur me pas. Francesco eshte nje shofer autobuzi, i pamotivuar dhe depresiv, i cili ka zakonin e keq te kumarit dhe me shume borxhe te pashlyera ne horizont. Keta te dy jane karakteret te cilet kalojne ditet e tyre neper rruget e rrjetes se merimanges-metropol mashtrimi. Papritur, nje seri keqkuptimesh udheheq Leilen dhe Franceskon ne nje histori mitmarrjesh, ndjekje dhe kurthesh. Ajo c'ka rrezikohet eshte nje dokument i rendesishem dhe nje valixhe me para. Kur te gjithe bashke, politikane, mashtrues, grindavece te pafat, te dashuruar pas Jazzit dhe Hypochondriac vrases me pagese u vihen kunder, Leila dhe Francesko fillojne te mendojne se udhetimin e mrekullueshm drejt nje jete te re mund ta paguajne me keto para. Bazuar ne nje novelen homosexuale te Giapiero Rigosiky film eshte nje noir ironik e brilant, i prezantuar si kalasik ne zhanrin e Noir-it.

Besi a young boy, trying to be a man and impress his girlfriend takes a life's wrong turn, and enters a world that is slowly revealed as a world of pain and death that was once thought to be to be world of joy.

Â

"Ma jep doren" eshte nje film bazuar ne nje histori te vertete mbi nje te ri kosovar abuzues droge. Besi nje djale i ri, icili duke u perpjekur te tregohet burre dhe ti lere pershtypje te dashures merr nje drejtim te gabur dhe hyn ne nje bote qe dalengadale zbulohet te jete nje bota e erret e dhimbjes dhe e vdekjes, teksa dikur ishte menduar si bota e gezimit.

Â

A small village in Albania around the 30's. In this isolated and patriarchal town is born and raised Gjoleka, the son of a man called Abaz . After many years of emigration in America - Servet (a former habitant of the village) returns bringing with him a new and fresh mentality which served the 10 year old Gjoleka, as an inspiration. Gjoleka, the son of Abaz, is growing up under the influential ideas of his father Abaz and those of his godfather Servet. Gjoleka symbolizes those generations, which grow up in the difficult reality of the underdeveloped countries. With true realism, the film shows the human relations, love, hatred and the impossibility of integration into another world, as it provides an absorbing autopsy of some bizarre societies, which sometimes we all belong to.

Â

Ngjarjet zhvillohen ne nje fshat te vogel ne Shqiperi rreth viteve 30. Vend i izoluar dhe i dominuar nga patriarkalizmi, me te cilen rritet dhe djali i Abazit. Serveti, nje ish-banor i fshatit kthehet ne fshat mbas emigracionit ne Amerike, duke sjelle me vete nje fryme dhe mentalitet te ri ne fshat qe sherbeu dhe per Gjoleken e vogel 10 vjecar si nje frymezim. Gjoleka, djali Abazit rritet mes ideve te te atit dhe ato te kumbarit te tij Servetit. Gjoleka simbolizon gjeneratat e reja qe rriten ne realitetin e veshtire qe ofrojne vendet e pazhvilluara. Filmi me nje realizem te thelle tregon raportet njerzore, dashurine, urretjen, dhe pamundesine per t'u integruar ne nje bote tjeter, duke ndertuar keshtu, nje autopsi te shoqerive te cuditshme ne te cilat nganjehere bejme pjese te gjithe.
