‘Hive’ by Blerta Basholli is Kosovo’s official entry for the Oscars

Three times winner at Sundance ‘Hive’ by Blerta Basholli is proposed by Kosovo as its official entry for the Oscars International Feature race.

“‘Hive’ is both intimate and universal, that touches deeply with its story of pain, endurance and ultimately triumph. The film is masterfully realistic, restrained and with deep gravity.
