Hi: A friend of mine just got a project accepted by ARTE (the French art channel). She will host a 4 hour show where she (and her guests) will try to examine the concept of borders as it relates to the Balkans (not only geographic borders but also cultural, ethnic, socio-economical as well as mental). She would like to illustrate her show with clips taken from various movies (feature films, shorts, documentaries, etc) filmed in the Balkans and, if possible, by cineasts of that region. The problem she's run into is that there are few, if any,organized catalogues of what is available. She's therefore forced to spend an undo amount of time scouring unorganized archives and viewing literally kilometers of filmstock to try to find the bits and pieces she needs (for example, we spent a few days in Tirana this summer in the official "cinemateque" and the conditions are really beyond description: no catalogue, copies of film left out to rot in the humidity etc.). It would make life simpler for her if she had, ahead of time, a list of potentially useful film containing sequences illustrating this theme. She could then try to track these down to view instead of literally having to look at everything. She's interested in films from the following countries: Albania, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Roumania, FYROM, and Turkey (don't worry about Greece, we got it covered...she's based in Athens) Thanks in advance.
