Kinostudio Shqipëria e Re


The Albanian National Center of Cinematography (Albanian: Qendra Kombëtare e Kinematografisë) is the largest film distributor and film production company in the cinema of Albania connected with over 700 films (feature films and documentaries) between 1947 and 2012. The studio has produced and distributed the vast majority of Albanian films. Especially important was its work in the 1970s and 1980s when the studio averaged 75-80 movies per year.

The Center of Cinematography was born in 1945 as the Agency of Albanian Films (Albanian: Agjencia Shqiptare e Filmave) which, in 1947 was transformed into the Albanian Cinematographical National Company (Albanian: Ndërmarrje Shtetërore Kinematografike Shqiptare). At that time all the movie theaters were nationalized, so the company was in charge of both movie production and management of theaters. In May 1948 the company presented its first cinematographic chronicle. It also contributed in the 1940s and 1950s with the building of many movie theaters throughout Albania. In 1952 was created the movie studio called Kinostudio Shqipëria e Re, which lasted until 1992, and was substituted by the Albafilm-Tirana (1992-1996).

From a government decree in 1996 was created the current National Center of Cinematography.
