has signed a deal with Elsani & Neary Media to handle the international sales for “The Albanian Virgin.” The film had its world premiere in the competition section of the Warsaw Intl. Film Festival on Friday, and The Playmaker Munich will present it to buyers atThe film, which was written by Katja Kittendorf and directed by Bujar Alimani, is set in 1958 in Albania. An arranged marriage forces Luana to deny her love for Agim.
“The film shows possibilities for a new era without promising a universal solution and without telling the audience what’s right and what’s wrong. This film wants to inspire [the audience] to talk and to empathize. It touches and moves, shakes and shocks and is equally a plea for reconciliation, love.”
“Chromium,” Alimani’s second feature film, played at film festivals in Hamburg, Montpellier, Brussels, Segovia and Munich, and was also the Albanian candidate for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards in 2017.
