Next success for Kosovo cinematography, film Looking for Venera wins the Special Jury Award at Rotterdam

This film took five years of my life, not a little! ! I'm very happy that I've had the luck of working with everyone behind this film, all of it, but all of it, those who have given meaning to this experience. This award is very important for the film, but also a sign of prestige because festivals like the IFFR like to encourage narrative challenges and innovation in film language. That's a great motive for the way I work”.

I personally thank Besnik, the closest associate, the one who trusted me, the push and the incubation, but even Louis Armando Arteaga, from the day this film was intended to challenge the visual side, I remember how much time and motivation has been required to come here!
