Gjeneral Gramafoni
2023-04-20 19:00 - 21:00 | Arkivi Qendror Shtetëror i Filmit, Rruga Aleksander Moisiu, 76/1, Tiranë, Albania
Në mesin e viteve ’30 fillon penetrimi dhe parapërgatitja e pushtimit Italian të vitit 1939. Halit Berati, një klarinetist virtuoz dhe Parandili ftohen nga një sipërmarrës Italian të inçizojnë në pllaka gramafoni, meloditë e tyre të cilat do të shiten së bashku me muzikën italiane të kohës së fashizmit. Gjatë kësaj kohe fillojnë grevat e punëtorëve të naftës ku Halil Berati është punëtor.
« …çfarë i ndodh një populli para-modern, tradicional, feudal, i cili ndodhet në pikëprerjen e dhunshme me logjikat e rendit kapitalist të pushtuesit, ende jo zyrtar ? Ndoshta kjo është pyetja madhore e regjisorit Gjika që përbën edhe subjektin kryesor të filmit.» (Julian Bejko, Shoqëria e Kinemasë, I, Regjimi i vjeter dhe lufta e popullit, Edlora, Tiranë, 2012, fq.56)
« Te “Gjenerali”, rendi kapitalist vjen nëpërmjet pushtimit, hap pas hapi, pa iu vërsulur institucioneve shqiptare të monarkisë që në çastin e parë. Si një regjim shfrytëzimi, vështirësia e tij e parë është përballja me një realitet të vonuar shoqëror dhe ekonomik. Problemi i tij është se si të shtjerë në dorë pasuritë e popullit, shpirtin krijues, pasuritë natyrore, forcën e punës. » (Julian Bejko, Shoqëria e Kinemasë, I, Regjimi i vjeter dhe lufta e popullit, Edlora, Tiranë, 2012, fq.61)
« Filmi është, një kritikë ndaj kapitalizmit si shfrytëzues jo vetëm i forcës punëtore por dhe e talenteve e pasurive kombëtare të veçanta njerëzore. Në këtë mënyrë rikthehemi te klisheja klasike e epokës totalitare e përfaqësuar dhe në kinemanë tonë: komunizmi kundër kapitalizmit, populli kundër pushtuesit, vlera kombëtare kundër vlerave fluide, e veçanta kundër rrëmujës identike. Kategori armiqësore të shpalosura kryesisht gjatë luftës së ftohtë. Kontradikta që ndodhen në bërthamën e fuqive të mëdha: i civilizuar – i prapambetur, i kultivuar – barbar, të cilat legjitimohen përmes frymës së progresit të të emancipuarit, i mjeshtrit të madh që krijon jo vetëm hierarki vlerore e kuptimore por ndonjëherë edhe raciale. »

GENERATION OF IMAGES

GENERATION OF IMAGES / Sound / 2025 / 103min
A documentary film by Johannes Gierlinger
“We sing a lullaby, not to lull to sleep,
this giant baby of iron and concrete.
We sing a lullaby so it grows stronger, and upon it,
incessantly the revolution can walk.”
A poem as a wake-up call for revolution, or rather a regime-compliant lullaby? GENERATIONS OF IMAGES embarks on a search for traces through the profound transformation processes of Albanian history. In the archives, forgotten places, and memories of different generations, ruptures and continuities become visible, left behind by the transition from communist dictatorship to capitalist democracy. GENERATIONS OF IMAGES finds its own language to analyse regime images and image regimes. It is the language of poetry that rejects the logic and linearity of conventional historiography, allows for contradictions, and expresses itself as both thought and action. It makes it possible not only to look at images but to let them speak for themselves, to find new meanings and to create underlying narratives. In this way, generations of images form a multi-layered and polyphonic picture of history, which often tells less about the past than about an ambivalent relationship to it and shows how deeply the traces of history are inscribed in the fabric of the present.

Tana is a landmark for Albanian cinema. The story of a bright and enthusiastic young collective farm worker caught between two men vying for her affections. Tana is Albania’s first feature- length film featuring a wondrous performance by our still-living legend of the big screen, Tinka Kurti, who plays the title role. Tana is a film of light and nature, a black and white drama of vitality and movement which unfortunately would be lost from our country’s cinema as the clouds of dictatorship grew darker.
