Five days in Albania reveal the decay of film archives from Enver Hoxha's regime and the fading memory of the nation's cultural history.
Synopsis
Mark Cousins stands amidst the crumbling film archives of Albania, reflecting on the legacy of Enver Hoxha's authoritarian rule. Over five days, he documents the decline of the nation’s cinematic heritage and its impact on cultural identity. Cousins draws inspiration from Chris Marker’s style, while also considering the architecture of dictators and the works of painter Onufri. He invokes the phrase 'Here be Dragons' to emphasize Albania's obscurity and the need to confront its complex history and narratives.
