Former Memberships Include

Albanian Cinema Project (ACP)

Due to the nearly 50 year long regime of dictator Enver Hoxha, Albania remained cut off from the rest of the world until 1990. Most Albanian films made before 1991 were never translated into another language and were rarely screened outside of Albania. Since 2012, the Albanian Cinema Project has worked to change this fact, bringing a “new” national cinema to international screens.

We are forging alliances with media archives throughout the Western Balkans to build regional partnerships to promote long-term preservation of the region’s audiovisual heritage, and ongoing education for archives professionals.
