Starting from the end of the Second World War and for over forty years, the history of Albania was inextricably entwined with that of a single man. Enver Hoxha guided the country through ephemeral alliances and radical breaks with the status quo, driving him to adopt total isolation. A State Film shows us the forty-year-long Communist regime in Albania through material that the state produced to promote itself. Drawing entirely on often never-before-released archive footage – official propaganda films, footage from the regime’s private or reserved holdings – this film weds images and sound to portray a regime that used cinema as a tool of power. Just what do these same images tell us today?
