(4 years ago)I've applied three times to the movie center, I'm a person, a non-grath, hypocrisy that they earn money from my movie” With this statement, director Edward Grichaj has shown the scandal that occurs with filmmaking in Albanian cinematography. As you walk, Grisey reports on the N'E TV show with journalist Ermal Qori, all [...] backstages.
“We in Albania have a film centre, an institution that should support young people, but unfortunately it is degraded, I got 0 support, I asked for help because I was confident it was Father Zef Pelumby's story that makes a promotion of our culture. They told me that the project is definitely going to win, so there's nothing coming up, according to statistics my film is the most watched of all the last 3 years of this center-funded film, the biggest hypocrisy is that the movie center makes money from my movie.
I applied three times to the mall, I'm a non-grath person there. With my movie mall, you get profit from my tickets. That doesn't stop me from moving forward, I say it to young people who get demoralized and therefore there's no movies here, because it's a mismanagement from this center. It is a law in Albania that the film centre gets a % profit from producing my film. There's a certain clan there and they know how they do these things” - He said.
Grishaj has proven experience with well-known actors, while calling it “problem” Arbana Osmanin, after he said that Arbana improvised from the scenario.
“Arbana was the hardest actress, even some of the trouble I've had most of her... Arbana has been on television for many years and she's used to saying the text in her own words, which shouldn't happen in the movie because it changes a lot after” he concluded.
“Sophia” is director Grisaj's latest film production. Film has won success not only in Albania, but elsewhere in Albanian diaspora
