The 6th annual Tirana
International Film Festival (TIFF) is honored to announce the
first special program set to kick the festival off
on December 1, 2008.
TIFF is most pleased to welcome to the Albanian capital American
indie legend,
Alexandre Rockwell together with his long-time collaborator,
the screenwriter Brandon Cole. Rockwell, who first made his
reputation with his Sundance-winning 'In The Soup' will be screening
his last film '13 Moons' along with co-writer Brandon Cole.
Cole will take part in this special screening and Q and A along with
Rockwell and will then present John Tuturro's 'Illuminata' which
Cole wrote the screenplay for. Both Alexandre Rockwell and Brandon
Cole will also be present for a special afternoon press conference
to announce their upcoming US-Albanian co-production along with
the SKA-NDAL Film Company who is set to produce the project.
TIFF is also pleased to welcome this years international programmer,
filmmaker Thomas Logoreci, who produced the 2006 TIFF entry 'I
Am A Sex Addict' as well as last years special screening
short, 'A Day's Work' which he wrote. Apart from selecting all the
short works in each of the international categories, Logoreci is
also presenting a program of selected foreign features from the
vault of the Albanian State Film Archive (AQSHF). more |

TREASURES FROM THE ALBANIAN FILM
ARCHIVE |
|
Despite the rigid Marxist isolation of dictator
Enver Hoxha,
many foreign (and some Western) films were seen by Albanian
audiences during the nearly half-century of communist rule.
Imported to serve as propaganda to the masses, many of these cinema
classics were then tucked way into the vaults were they have
remained unseen for half a century. The Tirana
International Film
Festival (TIFF) in cooperation with the Albanian State Film
Archive (AQSHF) are pleased to present prints of these treasures
some not available on DVD. |

'Wonder Prize –
Veronica Locatelli'
 |
The award
'Wonder Prize – Veronica Locatelli'
One of the first steps taken by our association has been the
institution of an itinerating prize to be awarded on the occasion of
national and international movie festivals to both video makers and
creators of short movies .
This prize, which we have called 'Wonder Prize – Veronica Locatelli'
and that the Association itself is committed to providing, consists
of a director-chair having the association's logo printed
back-to-front on its back. The association is also committed to
having the name of the winner printed on the back of the chair along
with the logo at the time the prize is awarded.
The jury will be made of members of the association having a good
knowledge of the video and short-movie- making sector. The prize
will be awarded to
what the
jury will judge as the 'most wildly happy work', the one that best
reflects the spirit and the intents of free creativity that the
association is committed to pursuing. |
