Documentaire | hdv | | 22:0 | Albanie | 2013

44 years after the name of Albania?s dictator was painted on the Shpirag mountain, a group of villagers take the effort to climb the mountain and change the letters by overwriting a new word, referring to the past dictatorship and the current government.

Born in Tirana Albania, 1980. Writer of plays, texts on risk territory, film author and producer of conflict images, Armando Lulaj is a lucid and disrespectful analyst of the dispositive and mechanisms of power hidden backstage of the international claimed forms. He has no desire to rivendicate the context of local belonging; rather, he is orientated toward accentuating the border between economical power, fictional democracy and social disparity in a global context?. In 2003 he founded the Debatikcenter of Contemporary Art (DCCA) to analyze the recent changes in contemporary society. Recently, Debatikcenter (DCPD) has become more of a centre for film production. Armando Lulaj has participated in exhibitions such as: The Prague Biennial (2003, 2007), Tirana Biennial (2005), the Albanian Pavilion in the 52 Venice Biennial (2007), the 4th Gothenburg Biennale (2007), the 8th Baltic Biennial of Contemporary Art, Szczecin, Poland (2009), the 6th Berlin Biennial (2010) and the 63` Berlinale Film Festival (2013). His work is present in important public and private collections.
