GENERATIONEN VON BILDERN (GENERATIONS OF IMAGES)
2025, Austria
Johannes Gierlinger
The title of this film has a reverse meaning, too: Images of Generations. It shows and tells the story of many decades of Albanian history, from the communist dictatorship under Enver Hoxha and the civil war of 1997 to the political resignation and fighting spirit of today. Archive footage is juxtaposed with contemporary, analogue observations. A group of young people, mostly female, reflect on the trauma and future of the country, taking an old poem as their starting point whose title and meaning can also be twisted and turned: ‘Moment of Action’.
