‘Empty Bottles From a Far Away Country: Chris Marker Retrospective’, marks the 100th birthday anniversary of the great film director who shaped the cinema and art of the century. Since the beginning of his practice, Chris Marker, was very sensitive and drawn to the worldwide political struggles and how these changes could be grasped in the form of film. The result of his life-long combative and artistic pursuit led him to deal with the memories of anti-colonial struggles taking place far away but still very close to his country.

Films will be screened with Albanian and English subtitles. Free entrance.

‘Empty Bottles From a Far Away Country: Chris Marker Retrospective’ is supported by the French Embassy and “Cultural Spaces of Kosovo” project, financed by the European Union.
