On the occasion of the national holidays, the Embassy of Albania in France, Ambassador Dritan Tola and Permanent Delegate Ambassador of Albania to UNESCO, Besiana Kadare, organized a cinematographic evening and a reception for all friends of Albania in France.

The evening opened with the screening of the restored film “Tale from the Past” by the great Albanian director Dhimitër Anagnosti, followed by the screening of the short film “A short trip” by the young Albanian director Erenik Beqiri, a film which is also Albania’s official candidacy for the Oscars.

The presentation of classical Albanian and modern cinematography was a pleasant invitation for the guests to know, appreciate and support Albanian art in all its dimensions.

These evaluations were also expressed by the welcoming words given by the Ambassador of Albania to France, Dritan Tola, the Advisor for Culture to Prime Minister Rama, Simonetta Dellomonaco and the Director Erenik Beqiri.

The film was screened with the cooperation of the Central State Film Archive. The film “Tale from the Past” directed by Dhimitër Anagnosti, produced in 1987 in our country, was previously selected to be part of the Treasures & Curiosities section of the classic film festival, “Festival Lumiere”, in Lyon, this October the year. “Tale from the past” is based on some motifs of the work of Andon Zako Çajup “Bridegroom at 14 ” and then the script was developed as an original creation of Dhimitër Anagnosti.
