Albanian Film Festival Köln

From September 26 - 29, Filmhaus Köln hosts the first edition of the Albanian Film Festival Köln, an initiative by ABC Book Club Köln.

Over four days, the festival brings a curated selection of Albanian cinema to Cologne, featuring internationally awarded works, short films and stories reflecting different perspectives from Albania and its diaspora.

The festival opens on September 26 at 6:45 PM, followed by Everybody Calls Redjo at 7:00 PM and Hive at 9:30 PM.

On September 27, the program continues with Heaven Has Been Fooled + Balkan Bazar at 3:00 PM, Wo/Men at 5:00 PM, and Chamomile + Zana at 9:00 PM.

On September 28, Shame and Money screens at 9:00 PM. The festival closes on September 29 with The News + Waterdrop at 7:00 PM and Antimuseum + Luna Park at 9:00 PM.

Alongside the screenings, additional cultural activities and discussion formats are planned.

The festival is a self-funded, community-organized initiative that grew out of ABC Book Club Köln, creating a space to celebrate Albanian film, culture and storytelling in Cologne.
