The film "Bekim Fehmiu" premiered this Thursday in Tirana. Bekim Fehmiu was one of the greatest Yugoslav actors originally from Kosovo, he had world fame, and he lived in Belgrade.
"We wanted and planned the premiere in Prizren, the city where Bekim spent his childhood and youth, but we still decided on Tirana because the Albanian Center for Cinematography helped us the most to realize the film," Fahri Musliu told the "Vremena" portal. screenwriter of the film.
"Bekim Fehmiu" is a feature-length documentary film.
Musliu says that the film shows the life of the great actor from his birth in Sarajevo to his tragic death in Belgrade, and that there is no narrator, but that 22 interlocutors tell the audience about him. He lists that among them are his wife Branka and brother Arsim, directors Goran Marković and Ivana Vujić, Fadil Hysaj and Piro Milkani, actors Branislav Lečić, Enver Petrovci, Drita Krasnići, Timo Floko, Roza Anagnosti, Eleonora Giorgi, film critics Milan Vlajčić, Gani Mehmeti, Miljenko Jergović, friends.
The documentary lasts 66 minutes and was filmed in Belgrade, Sarajevo, Zagreb, Pristina, Prizren, Tirana, Shkodër, Rome, in four languages - Albanian, Serbian, Italian and English.
"The premiere in Tirana was fantastic, long applause, praise." Mostly people from culture came, few of them from Kosovo, not even all those who talked about Bekim in the film came. They were probably busy," says Musliu.
He also adds that "Branka Petrić called with a video link from Bosnia, where she was filming a movie."
Fahri Musliu announces that after Tirana the film will have premieres in Prizren, Pristina, Belgrade (first half of October), Sarajevo, Zagreb, Skopje and Podgorica. He says that the film will also have a festival life and that he hopes for awards.
"The good news is that we are starting a TV series in five episodes, based on 600 minutes of recorded material. It will be a story not only about Becky, but also about his time."
When we spoke with Musli in June, he said that the film was shot with the money and debts of its authors, as well as that there is no interest in Serbia for the translation of his book "Bekim Fehmiu - Kosovar Odyssey" from the Albanian language. We didn't talk about that today.
"Let's wait for these riots in Kosovo to calm down from tonight, and then we'll talk about it." Let's not pile up bad topics now, and let's try to preserve that impression from the premiere of the film."
