ANULLOJE LIGJIN
Fabrizio Bellomo, 2023, 62’
A documentary that investigates the complexity of a nation, Albania, through the narration of the controversial history of its monuments. A story of its perennial condition of “transition”: from socialist monuments to skyscrapers, from red flags to the new green empire. Where are they and what are they becoming today, the old Albanian socialist monuments? And now, years after the change of system, what are the monuments erected in this new neoliberal and turbo-capitalist era?
