The “Breaking the Moulds – Shaping the Future” event took place at the House of Europe in Tirana, featuring the European Union ambassador to Albania, Silvio Gonzato, alongside prominent journalists and directors from the country.
The venue transformed into a cinema, showcasing powerful and previously untold stories. These narratives, presented through short films, addressed significant issues such as human trafficking, the overlooked resistance of women during dictatorship, and ongoing struggles against stereotypes.
These creations, developed by talented youth under the EU-funded initiative “Breaking the Moulds – Shaping the Future,” aim to denounce injustice, celebrate bravery, and advocate for an inclusive and ethical media landscape in Albania.
Gonzato expressed pride in the EU’s support for young journalists and directors, emphasizing how their stories are instrumental in reshaping the narrative around women both in media and society. He encouraged them to continue their creative efforts, challenge norms, and support one another, assuring that the EU will remain a steadfast ally.
This event, supported by the European Union, was organized in partnership with ‘Albanian Women in Audiovisual’ and SCiDEV, who have provided training, mentorship, and guidance throughout the filmmaking process. (June 11)
