When Kosova just emerged from the war a
group of cinematographers endowed with a strong will established in
Prishtina the branch of film direction along with other branches
including drama, acting, theatre direction. At that time Kosova had
still many wounds, a legacy of the 1999, but it comes that artists
insist to continue their existence and that of the art they
represent, and at the same time offer the experience they have to a
young generation. Thus the branch was established. The well-known
Kosovar Isa Qosja, Fahri Hysa, and Ermir Halili, the founders of
this school achieved to overcome every difficulty and not only
created the idea but also structured the basis and norms necessary
for a school of art. Present in T.I.F.F. ’03, Fahri Hysa tells that
“at least four students are accepted in this school every year for
every branch, among 100 of them entering the competition. During the
three years of school, every student works on six fictions, two
documentaries and one TV drama. This is the elementary norm to come
up with a CV and to be ready to; work in this art.” Actually, the
Prishtina School has signed the Bologna Charter and its programme is
similar with that of European schools of this character in Europe,
at a time when the school is open for all directors and
theoreticians of film to hold lectures. According to the professor
of this school, Fahri Hysa, an outstanding name not only in Kosova
but also in Albania in the field of television and cinema, many of
the students of Prishtina School have successfully attended in
international festival similar with T.I.F.F. Two fictions and two
experimental films of young directors coming from this school,
Kaltrina Krasniqi, Ylli Çitaku, Burbuqe Berisha and Valter Luca,
have been officially selected to participate in the first edition of
the International Festival of Short Film.
Speaking with positive notes for the organization of this festival,
Hysa also does not hesitate to say that a school of this kind can as
well be established in the Albanian Capital. He said that this is a
special school and has apparently not an inferiority as compared to
other schools. You create better things where you live, this is the
principle of our school he concluded for T.I.F.F ’03. |
