Curated by Albanian filmmaker Iris Elezi, Silent Mediterranean offers a rare cine-concert immersive experience featuring unique hand-tinted silent film travelogues from the Mediterranean region (1910–1927). This Albanian Cinematheque collaboration with the Eye Filmmuseum will be accompanied by live classical music featuring Adorel Haxhiaj, lead cellist of the Kosovo Philharmonic, and oud player Astrit Stafai, adding a dynamic soundscape to these forgotten cinematic treasures.
Reminiscent of the old Benshi tradition, Iris Elezi, director of the Albanian Cinematheque, will guide the audience through these century-old travelogues, sharing pertinent insights as they come to life on the shore of the Adriatic Sea.
