"Albania lacks cinemas", Ledion Liço: Feature films are
Ledion Lico

The history of cinematography in our country stretches mainly during the communist dictatorship, while during the transition it continued with a lower intensity.

Over the past few years, producers and directors have been exploring a market that has a lot of space but little support. The latest film is the production of "Top Channel Films", the comedy "In the frame of love", which has been a success so far.

But the cinematographic market seems difficult and problematic. In a discussion tonight on "Top Story", invited directors and producers show how the market works in Albania and Kosovo.

Producer Ledion Liço explains that non-artistic films that are produced in the country are obliged to pay a percentage for each ticket sold, a fact that causes debate, according to him.

"You should know that for every ticket that these artistic elites call non-artistic, for every ticket sold, the National Cinema Center receives 1 percent of that ticket. Which means, feature films in this country are made with the money of Ermal Mamaqi and in this year's case, with the money of 'Top Channel Films'. This is a debate"

Producer and actor Ermal Mamaqi adds that this payment is still higher in Kosovo: "Yes, it's true, I collect one leksh and it is declared one by one. Kosovo even has more."

Another problem, according to the guests, is the cinema halls. Liço shows that, apart from Tirana, in other Albanian cities, there are either no cinema halls or they do not function according to world standards.

"Now that we are talking, do we not have four cities with functional cinema halls? I believe Kosovo is better, where apart from Pristina, Gjakova has world-class cinemas. Prizren as well, and other halls that open. While in Albania, the only city with halls of world standards is Tirana. We can only have things that approximate a cinema in other cities."
