Accompanied by his wife, Rita Augestad Knudsen, and their daughter, Leah, the first of the Kosovo government was in the French state on a mission supporting two Kosovo production films, who were participating in this year's edition of the Cannes Festival.

Short rating film “The Kodra lioness” of director Luana Bjram were two films that the prime minister's near-time blessing at the prestigious film festival.

And while in Cana, France, Albin Kurti gave an interview with the international medium Cineuvora, dedicated throughout European filmmaking.

In this interview, Kurti said he grew up with films and that the success of these two film projects has prompted Kosovo Government to double the budget for participating films since next year.

We want to be as integrated as possible in European cinema, whether through artists or state institutions”, Albin Kurti told journalist Ana Stanic.
