HIVE
Albania
2021, 1h 24m, Kosovo / Switzerland / Albania / North Macedonia
Director: Blerta Basholli
Cast: Yllka Gashi, Çun Lajçi, Aurita Agushi
Genre: Drama
Sundance triple award winner, and Kosovo’s official submission for the Academy Awards®, HIVE is a searing drama based on the true story of Fahrije (Yllka Gashi), who, like many of the other women in her patriarchal village, has lived with fading hope and burgeoning grief since her husband went missing during the war in Kosovo. In order to provide for her struggling family, she pulls the other widows in her community together to launch a business selling a local food product. Together, they find healing and solace in considering a future without their husbands—but their will to begin living independently is met with hostility. The men in the village condemn Fahrije’s efforts to empower herself and the women around her, starting a feud that threatens their newfound sovereignty—and the financial future of Fahrije’s family. Against the backdrop of Eastern Europe’s civil unrest and lingering misogyny, Fahrije and the women of her village join in a struggle to find hope in the face of an uncertain future. Winner of the Audience Award, Directing Award, and World Cinema Grand Jury Prize at Sundance, HIVE is a pithy, devastating portrait of loss and our uphill journeys to freedom.
All films at CEFF are presented in their original language with English subtitles.
Globe Cinema: Wednesday, November 9 at 6:00 pm (Cinema 1)
