Framing the Margins: Ethnic Albanian & Romani Depictions in Yugoslav Cinema

In this workshop, Arbër Qerka-Gashi invites participants to explore how cinema and film have shaped problematic societal notions about marginalised communities across diverse contexts.

Drawing on research into representations of Romani and Albanian communities in Yugoslav cinema, Arbër challenges traditions of harmful portrayals and opens up space for participants to collectively reflect on and re-imagine how such narratives can be disrupted.
