The 9th edition of Ekrani i Artit, an event dedicated to experimental cinema, video art, and contemporary visual culture, will take place in Shkodër from 27 to 31 May 2026. The five-day program brings together artists, filmmakers, curators, and audiences from Albania and abroad, organized for the second year through a collaborative effort.
This edition matters because it reinforces Shkodër's role as a hub for experimental moving-image art in the Balkans, fostering cross-cultural exchange and highlighting the growing intersection of cinema and visual art. The event's return signals sustained institutional support and international engagement with Albania's contemporary art scene.
