18:00 Opening of the exhibition Shiko dhe Mos Harro

18:30 Documentary movie: “A People Uncounted” (watch the trailer here: http://youtu.be/e7slCGDaSWY)

On occasion of the International Day of Commemoration of the Victims of the Holocaust (January 27th) the NGO Roma Active Albania (RAA), based in Tirana, presents Shiko dhe Mos Harro, an exhibition on the remembrance of the Roma Genocide convicted by the Nazis during the World War II.
In August 2013 young Roma and Non-Roma from all over Europe came together to commemorate the day of the liquidation of the “Zigeunerlager” in Auschwitz in 1944. During four days they were gathering in workshops and discussion rounds to learn about this widely unknown part of the Holocaust and to work on an active culture of remembrance to fight antigypsyism, racism, hate speech and extremism in Europe.
RAA wants to share this experience and promote the recognition of the Roma Genocide in a wider public in Albania. After the opening of the exhibition there will be a screening of the documentary movie “A People Uncounted” to give more insight to the topic of Roma Genocide in general.

Roma Active Albania in Cooperation with Tirana Ekspres.

ITALIAN NEOREALISM – MOVIE NIGHTS IN JANUARY 2014

ITALIAN NEOREALISM

In the new year 2014, the weekly Movie Night @ Tirana Ekspres starts with a cycle of films introducing the era of Italian Neo-realism.

Tuesday, 28/01/2014, 19.30: “Roma” (Comedy, 127min, 1972) by Federico Fellini

Neorealism belongs to an era between massacres and progress in a century of wars and totalitarism. It arose from a situation of battered World War II, where the crop has failed. Neorealiste cinema returns or intends to restore art to rescue a human role, exactly right there when this has affected the darkest point of human civilization. Neo-realism for Roberto Rossellini (who is a key director of this movement), is a tool to cope with real life and how to approach things more real.
