“Hive” is in the shortlist of 15 international films for the 94^th edition of the OSCAR award.

“Hive” has been inspired by the real story of Fahrije Hoti from Krusha e Madhe who while looking for her missing husband in war, starts up an agriculture business to support the family. Fahrije faces a traditionally patriarchal environment that is hostile to ambition of development.

But, nothing could stop Fahrije on her mission. This became an inspiration for Basholli to produce a film on her life.

Yllka Gashi is the actor performing the role of Fahrije.

“Hive” is a co-production between Kosovo, Switzerland, Albania and North Macedonia supported by Cinematographic Centre of Kosovo, FOC and Cinéforom (Switzerland), Film Agency of North Macedonia and National Centre of Cinematography of Albania./k.s//a.a/p.s./

“Hive” is a co-production of Kosovo, Switzerland, Albania and North Macedonia, supported by Kosovo Cinema Center, the Federal Office for Culture FOC and Cinéforom (Switzerland), the Film Agency of North Macedonia and the National Center for Cinematography (Albania) .

The film “Hive” is inspired by the true story of Fahrije Hoti from Krusha e Madhe, who while looking for her missing husband during the war in Kosovo, starts an agricultural business to support the family.

She begins this engagement by facing a traditionally patriarchal environment where ambition to develop is not considered favorably. No one and nothing stopped Fahrije in her mission. And this is exactly what intrigued Basholli to make a film based on her life. The role of Fahrije is played by actress Yllka Gashi./k.s//a.a/r.e/p.s./
