Kur po xhirohej një film
When Shooting a Film
Xhanfise Keko und die Kinderbuchautorin Shpresa Vreto behandeln das in Albanien tabuisierte Thema Scheidung. Der sensible Kinderdarsteller in einem Partisanendrama versucht, seine getrennten Eltern wieder zu vereinen. Nachdem ihr Ehemann, der Dokumentarfilmmacher Endri Keko, 1979 bei einem Autounfall schwer verletzt wurde, begann Xhanfise nach ernsteren Filmstoffen zu suchen. Vieles an Kur po xhirohej një film entstand aus den Erfahrungen mit einem ihrer kindlichen Akteure, dessen Eltern sich am Set von Tomka dhe shokët e tij stritten.
Xhanfise Keko and children’s book author Shpresa Vreto tackle Socialist Albania’s taboo subject of divorce. A sensitive child acting in a partisan drama tries to reunite his separated parents. After her husband, documentary filmmaker Endri Keko, was seriously injured in a 1979 car accident, Xhanfise began searching for more serious screen material. Much of When Shooting a Film’s story was drawn from the director’s personal observations of one of her child actors and his fighting parents on the set of Tomka and His Friends.
