In an Albanian village, not so long ago, the most important event of the year is the competition to win the flag. Two men are to dig two ditches, from sunrise till sunset. The one who finishes first, takes everything that’s worth fighting for in life. A short parable about a once in a lifetime day, the search of love, the achievement of glory, oblivion and alienation.

The Albanian transition has com-pelled Loro Shestani to give up: his wife is dead, his daughter, a refugee in Italy, has forgotten her roots and the sea does not offer fish anymore. Loro has passed middle-age and believes that his life is in vain, he cannot cope with this new world. The pigeons are the only companions of his solitude.

10 - 20 Octobre 2013
We present film series focused on different countries and regions. This section intends to discover and explore different spaces and cultures with the aim to understand the specific regional, political and social circumstances, do reconstruct the emotional and intellectual spécificities of a special region or country. In this critical work we belief it's essencial to prefer films which rufuse, in its form and expression, the retake of sterotype ways of reality restituition, as an act of resistance in the actual period of "globalisation", which inclins to impose one dominating model of culture and habitutes..
