PriFest presents the competing films in the medium-length category

PriFest presents the competing films in the medium-length category, a unique program that brings a diverse range of films from four European countries. These four films address themes such as social prohibitions, family pressure, class privileges, and personal identity.
Medium-length films are a rare category (ranging from 25 to 60 minutes), and PriFest is the only festival in the region that features this category.

TWO PEOPLE EXCHANGING SALIVA by Natalie Musteata, Alexandre Singh, France / Regional Premiere (36 min).
In a society where kissing is punished by death and people pay with slaps in the face, Angine, a dissatisfied woman, compulsively shops in a department store. There, she becomes fascinated by an innocent and naïve salesgirl. The two grow increasingly close, arousing the suspicions of a jealous colleague.

NIKAH by Mukaddas Mijit and Bastien Ehouzan, France / Premiere (55 min).
It is 2017, in the Uyghur Region. Dilber, a 27-year-old unmarried woman, faces growing pressure to marry. Every day, she communicates by video with her friend Gulnur in Paris, who offers her an unexpected solution.

THE PRINCE by Alex Sardà, Spain / Premiere (29 min).
Today is premiere day, and Artur – the son of a bourgeois family and a dancer in a contemporary dance troupe – acts like a prince in a kingdom created in his own image. But everything changes when his father is arrested for corruption in a construction scandal. From that moment, Artur faces a difficult choice: to protect his family by hiding the truth about his father, or to face the consequences of losing his privileges.

THE ISLAND OF FORGETFULNESS by Jamie Vella, Malta / World Premiere (45 min).
Odysseus and Calypso live an idyllic life on a peaceful, pastoral island. But this tranquility is disrupted when Odysseus uncovers a possible truth about his identity. He faces a choice: to confront his past, or to remain sheltered in a world of comfort alongside Calypso.

PriFest will take place from September 9 to 14 at Kino Armata in Prishtina.
