The Francophone Film Festival kicked off yesterday with an emotionally charged opening ceremony!

The evening began with opening speeches by Mr. Grégoire Cuvelier, Ambassador of Belgium to Kosovo, and Mr. Kushtrim Krasniqi, Press Attaché and Organizer of the Sports Festival at the Olympic Committee of Kosovo.

For this first evening of the Francophone Film Festival, centered around the theme “Cinema Meets Sport”, Samir Karahoda’s short film “Pa Vend” was screened, followed by Mickaël Gamransi’s documentary “Olympiques! La France des Jeux”. The evening concluded with a cocktail, where Chef Christophe presented a variety of French culinary specialties cooked by students.
