BEST REFLECTING ALBANIA

Italianesi by Saverio La Ruina | Italy | 2023 | 84’ | Documentary

The film showcases the powerful story where the feelings of compassion and resilience of a people intertwine towards their former occupier. With emotion, it highlights hospitality as a fundamental virtue of Albanians towards Italian soldiers during World War II. This poignant documentary serves as an essential reminder of the compassion and humanity displayed even in the darkest times of the Albanian people.

BEST PARADE

The Exchange by Amaia Yoldi | Spain | 2024 | 14’ | Fiction

A movie unfolding spontaneously and realistically a theme of human intimacy concerning the gender identity, where not everything is as it appears to be, as even the well-dressed man in a pedestrian street might desire to wear long red 20 cm boots.

BEST DIVERGENT MINDs

Dori by Redi Mazi | Albania | 2024 | 18’ | Fiction

Desire and passion conquer all obstacles and surpass all limitations. You discover that only constraint is yourself, and that anything you want and seek, you will find. As he found out…

BEST NEW WORLD

P by Stelios Koupetoris | Greece | 2024 | 10’ | Animation

Is it possible to convey great messages through puppets? I believe P demonstrates the best. P shows that media power may deflect any reality via animation without saying a word.
