In May, we will be screening Blerta Basholli’s powerful feature film Hive at the World View Dortmund. The film tells the story of Fahrije, whose husband has been missing since the Kosovo War and who, alongside her personal grief, faces serious financial difficulties. Together with other women from her village, she begins making and selling ajvar – thereby facing fierce resistance from the patriarchal village community.

The film won the Grand Jury Prize, the Directing Award and the Audience Award at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival.
