Six short films made by ECAL/HEAD Cinema Master's students at the 22nd DokuFest in Prizren.
DokuFest, International Documentary and Short Film Festival, is the largest film festival in Kosovo. Since 2019, DokuFest has earned the esteemed status of being a BAFTA qualifying festival for short films, and in 2022, it was designated as a nominating festival for the prestigious European Film Academy. Each year the festival fills the cinemas and improvised screening venues around the historic center of Prizren with a selection of more than 200 hand-picked films from around the world.
Writing, shooting, and editing films in three weeks: this is the challenge taken up by the students of the ECAL/HEAD Cinema Masters during their study trip to Prizren, Kosovo in the fall of 2022. An artistic and human dive into the reality of a young and dynamic country which has distinguished itself in recent years by its remarkable cinematographic and artistic development. These films, mentored by the accomplished director and scriptwriter Kaltrina Krasniqi, and produced the DokuFest team, were made possible by the invaluable collaboration of the Prizren community.
As part of its special "Grand Voyage" programme, the festival is presenting six short films :
Great Men by Anna Joos and Sara Dutch
Helmet by Valentina Parati and Antoine Scalese
Kolosi by Loïs de Goumoëns , Loris Ciaburri and Theofanis Papadopoulos
Searching For Baba by Jonathan Daza Ospina
The Mistaken Ones Make A Good Mistake by Saleh Kashefi
Waterfall by Fei Fan
