During the 1990’s Albania was in constant turmoil. From civil war, failed pyramid schemes and a mass exodus of its own population for a better life. Its southern neighbor Greece was seen as haven from from the ills of Albania. What waited for these Albanians were not open arms in the birthplace of democracy.
Paftuar is the third film for Roland Uruçi and his first film shot on location in Albania. Immigrating from Diber, in what is today Macedonia, with his family when he was three years old he has never forgotten his Albanian roots. Creating art through film and stage work while delving into his heritage is what makes him unique in his storytelling and then depth of stories he brings to the surface.
