Her story is not just about film restoration, it’s about dedication, passion, and the vital role of preserving cultural heritage.

“We are not just conserving old films. We are keeping stories alive,” Hermelinda concluded. And with the continued support of programs such as EU4Culture, funded by the EU, the legacy of Albania’s cinematic treasures will endure for generations to come.

EU4Culture programme, funded by EU and implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Economy, Culture and Innovation, supported the Central State Film Archive in the purchase of advanced equipment, including a D-Observer digital table, a modern film cleaning device and a film projector.
