Greeting remark, by the Mayor of Tirana, EDI RAMA

Until four years ago, this city did not have a cinema, and could therefore be compared – by those who have experienced the magic of the big screen – with a windowless house. Today, from the magic window of our house – which is undergoing a lot of restoration – we are given the opportunity of glimpsing at eighty-two gardens of dreams, coming from all over the world. And, for such a special taste of variegated spiritual landscapes, which are going to be flashed in front of us, we should be grateful to the originators and organizers of the Tirana Film Festival.

Thanks to this Festival, Tirana is now eighty-two steps closer to its dream of being an attractive conventional sign in the international arts map.
