To mark the 90th birthday of actress Adivie Sharofi Alibali, celebrated for her role as Mamica Kastrioti in the film “Skënderbeu,” the Central State Film Archive (AQSHF) hosted a special event featuring a screening of the film and a tribute to the actress.

Adivie Alibali, renowned for her portrayal of Mamica Kastrioti, holds a special place in the hearts of Albanians. The event at AQSHF was attended by filmmakers, family members, and scholars who gathered to honor her legacy.

In a warm gathering with friends and family, AQSHF celebrated Alibali’s milestone birthday with a heartfelt homage to her contributions to art. “The role of Mamica, which immortalized Adivie and connected her with the heroic Kastrioti, was a significant part of our cinematic experience,” AQSHF stated on their online platform.

Furthermore, Agron Alibali, the actress’s son, presented the Film Archive with eight posters of “Skënderbeu” that were distributed to Italian cinemas in the 1950s. This donation enriches the archival materials related to the film’s history.
