Since the end of the Second World War and for over forty years, the history of Albania has been inextricably intertwined with that of a single man. Enver Hoxha led the country through ephemeral alliances and radical ruptures, leading it to total isolation.
"A State Film" is a journey through the images of a regime that made cinema an instrument of power. A story of communist Albania constructed exclusively through propaganda film archives and, for the first time, unpublished material from Enver Hoxha’s private film archive.
