We are proud to award Me kujtohet… (I Remember) directed by Arta Kroni for the #DocsConnect Taskovski Training Award in collaboration with NIUDOC – “Where Stories Begin”
“Most people remember 1990s Kosovo for its war. The Albanian women that raised me remember 1990s Kosovo for their home.”
We chose this project because it powerfully reflects what we stand for supporting emerging women filmmakers from the Balkans and low-capacity regions, and amplifying stories rooted in memory, identity, and inter-generational experience, where personal and collective histories meet.
With heartfelt thanks to the filmmaker and our partners at NIUDOC for their trust and collaboration.
Our partnership with NIUDOC grows from a shared commitment: to empower the next generation of storytellers—especially women—and to support films that nurture human connection, peace, and a more conscious cinematic future.
Pordenone Doc Fest, Lago Film Fest, CNA Cinema e Audiovisivo, Cinema Zero and NIUDOC.
Congratulations to young and talented Arta and we’re looking forward to seeing her work in the future. We’re delighted to celebrate the flourishing of Balkan talent.
