The Embassy of Kosovo in The Hague hosted a screening of two films at the Eastern Neighbours Film Festival 2025, inviting several guests to attend. Indeed, Kosovar cinema is certainly on the rise. This year’s program featured two Kosovar films, providing a valuable opportunity to showcase the creativity, resilience, and evolving narratives of Kosovo’s contemporary film scene.
Notably, one of the films, Phantom Youth, is not intended purely for entertainment; it encourages viewers to reflect deeply. The film is historical, educational, illustrating the predicaments and resilience of Kosovo’s youth. While there were beers and cigarettes a go-go, there was no fighting, only an undeniable sense of solidarity.The performances by the actors were sublime.
Venue, Filmhuis Den Haag. 8 Nov. 2025.
