6 pm Movies, interactive exhibition and discussion
The documentary There is Light Inside and short films Column and Balcony reflect
the topics that resonate in nowadays Kosovo. The films have been successful in Kosovo and
in international festivals. Artistic project My name - their city reflects on the policy of national
identity builiding of Albanians of Kosovo mostly in 70ties and 80ties., which gave birth to
a particular phenomenon of naming children after Albania’s towns. Everybody courious can
discuss with Kosovo artists about how the young people see their lives in this for us often
mysterious and not much known country, existence of which is still questioned by some
European countries including Slovakia.

9 pm concert JazzaiR´T
A band that gathers the well established musicians of Kosova‘s rather young
jazz scene. Vastly influenced by jazz, classic music, pop and Balkan traditional music,
JAZZAIR’T brings a set of original compositions that express these influences and ideas. A
group of experienced musicians, whome had played in different bands and formations during
last years, debuted this year with their ‘roots’ album which is scheduled to come out on spring
2015 and is already hailed as one of the most exciting jazz projects in kosova. After a very
succesful performance at “Jazz & Wine festival Albania” in september 2014 JAZZAIR’T are
scheduled to perform in 2015 on jazz festivals in Berlin, Barcelona, Prague and Belgrade
among others.
