Documentary filmmaker Roland Sejko unveils Albania's Soviet-tinged propaganda archives in A State Film, a revealing examination of official footage produced under Enver Hoxha. The film investigates how cinematic imagery became a tool to shape public perception, construct national myth, and reinforce a rigid political narrative. Through meticulous archival work and thoughtful analysis, Sejko demonstrates the enduring power of image and memory in a regime that treated cinema as a state project. A State Film was selected for the main competition at Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival in the Czech Republic, underscoring its significance in contemporary non-fiction cinema. By tracing montage, archival context, and the politics of representation, the film offers a vivid portrait of how state-sponsored film shaped Albania’s cultural imagination and how those images continue to resonate today.
