TIRANA, September 21 /ATA/ On the threshold of the International Film Festival in Tirana (TIFF, September 23-29), its founder Agron Domi gave a press conference to present the news on TIFF in its 21st year.
Domi highlighted the premieres, the new productions that come exclusively for TIFF and that the people fond of cinematography can only find there, the great directors who will be present physically and through the productions, and many other special things that make this festival one of the most complete in the programming structure.
Names like Milcho Manchevski, winner in Venice and candidate for Oscars or Andreas Dresen, one of the most prominent persons of German cinema, will be at the master classes organized this year by TIFF, to exchange ideas between Albanian directors and cinema fans.
In the focus of the 21st edition of the TIFF will be Swedish cinema, in the “Swedish stories” session, which includes the films: “Burn all my letters” produced in 2022, “I am Zlatan” (2022) and “The emigrants” of 2021.
While making a difference with the sister-like festivals in the country and in the world Agron Domi said that TIFF does not simply select the best script, but the partners of the festival select the best script ready to be produced, to be turned into a film.
According to the organizers, the best part remains the short film session, the winner of which wins the right to run for the Oscars. TIFF is the last of 94 global festivals to take its proposal to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Tirana International Film Festival is an independent festival which promotes original, non-commercial films that otherwise would find it difficult to enter into the cinema and distribution market. Also this year, ATA supports TIFF as an official media partner./p.s./
