……………………………………………………………..
In the 20 years, between its creation in 1997 and today, ANCC has financed 271 films, 183 of whom, in the period 1997 – 2014.
The films belong to the following categories.
35 features
33 short features
74 long documentaries
48 short animations
In the 17 years (1997-2014) ANCC financed an average of 11 films yearly:
2 features
2 short features
4 documentaries
3 short animations
Only in the last 3 years (2015-2017) ANCC financed a total of 88 films, respectively:
36 features,
22 short features
17 documentaries
13 short animations
In the 3 years (2015-2017) ANCC financed an average of 11 films yearly:
14 features
7 short features
6 documentaries
7 short animations
Hence, the ANCC has financed in the last 3 years almost 1/2 of the total number of the films financed in its preceding 17 years. More features were financed between 2015-2017 (36) than during 1997-2014 (35).
In “Kinostudio’s” best years, circa 40 films were realized yearly, 14 of them were features, and the rest were documentaries and animations.
This number is considered even today a production record in reference to the population of Albania.
So currently Albania is realizing roughly the same number of films through the financial support of ANCC. Precisely in 2016 ANCC financed 37 films, from which 15 were features and the rest were shorts, documentaries and animations.

The Internet Movie Database has added a new “F” rating for films that are directed or written by a woman or that include significant female characters. The new IMDb rating was created by Holly Tarquini, Executive Director at UK’s Bath Film Festival, as a way to highlight the roles of women in the film industry. “The F-rating is intended to make people talk about the representation of women on and off screen,” Tarquini told Bath Chronicle.
According to the paper, the rating has been adopted by 40 UK movie theaters and festivals and IMDb has already tagged 21,800 films with the “F” rating. Some films have been given a “Triple F” rating for being written, directed, and starring women. Current picks include “American Honey,” Disney’s “Frozen,” “Metropolis,” “Bridget Jones’s Baby,” and “The Girl on The Train,” among others.
“It’s exciting when new organizations decide to join us in shining a light both on the brilliant work women are doing in film and on how far the film industry lags behind most other industries when it comes to providing equal opportunities to women,” Tarquini said of IMDb adopting the rating.
She added, “Our real goal is to reach the stage when the F rating is redundant because 50 per cent of the stories we see on screen are told by and about film’s unfairly under-represented half of the population — women.”
