World Premiere

Five friends explore their relationship with the Albanian language within the diaspora in Switzerland. They wander through places of remembrance where identity is forged, and give voice to Albanian culture in places where it is suppressed. Gjuha e diasporës straddles the line between documentary and experiment, serving as an investigation into what happens to the Albanian language as a result of oppression and migration.
