SYNOPSIS
Based upon true events
Eduart, a young man raised in a cruel and oppressive family
environment, leaves Albania with the dream of becoming a rock star
and living a better life. His reckless character lead him to commit
a murder in Athens.
Because of an old robbery he gets imprisoned in Albania under the
harshest conditions. Eduart, assisting the German doctor of the
prison, learns to feel sympathy for others and guilt for his crime.
Like the Dostoevskian hero Raskolnikov, Eduart passes from crime to
punishment. Can Eduart be redeemed?
In international criminal history, the "Eduart case" occurs once in
a hundred years. |

MAKAVEJEV |
The 5th edition of the Tirana
International Film Festival is very pleased to honor master
filmmaker Dusan Makavejev. The director will appear in-person to
introduce prints of his highly contoversial 'WR: Mysteries of the
Organism' (1971) as well as the 1981 cult classic 'Montenegro'.
'WR', a dazzling half-documentary mediation on Stalin and sexual
liberation was banned everwhere from the director's native
Yugoslavia to the Venice Film Festival. Yet in the three decades
since its first release, 'WR: Mysteries of the Organism' has come to
be regarded as a masterpiece appearing on no less than a dozen top
ten lists as one of the greatest films of all time.
The rarely-screened 'Montenegro' tells the story of a bored
housewife whose life is forever changed by a group of Yugoslav
immigrants. Over the years, 'Montenegro' has grown in reputation as
one of the finest moments in Makavejev's forty-year career and
features an astonishing performance by the American actress Susan
Anspach.
This is Dusan Makavejev's first visit to Albania. The staff and
programmers of the fest hope audiences will discover the brilliantly
original work of this living master of cinema.

ROCKWELL |
|
The early 1990's new
wave of American cinema set in motion the highly successful careers
of Quentin Tarantino, Rick Linklater and Robert Rodriguez among
others. Yet it was Alexandre Rockwell's offbeat comic take on
moviemaking, 'In the Soup', that won the rand Jury Prize at the 1992
Sundance Film Festival. The Tirana Film Festival will screen a
print of this unjustly forgotten gem on its closing night.
The 5th edition of TIIF is very pleased to welcome in-person
director Alexandre Rockwell as well as 'In The Soup's original
cinematographer, Phil Parmet (he recently shot Tarantino's segment
of 'Grindhouse').
The black and white 'In the Soup' features singular performances
from Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs), Jennifer Beals (Flashdance),
Cassavetes favorite actor Seymour Cassel and director Jim Jarmusch.
Apart from screening this lost treasure, TIFF will also show a print
of Rockwell's 1994 'In the Soup' follow-up,
'Someone to Love' with Harvey Keitel and Anthony Quinn.
TRANI FILM FESTIVAL,
chosen by the cinema section in the Programme PIC Interreg
Italy/Albania, will dedicate this year a week to discover or
re-discover Albanian cinematography...The Festival will host some of
the most important contemporary Albanian directors.
