Josif Kromidha (1930-2008)
Producent and administrator of Kinostudio “Shqiperia e Re”
Of course, we have seen his name written in many Albanian films or documentaries. This is the producer of the Kinostudio film “Shqiperia e Re”, a great name that occupies an important place in the history of Albanian film.
Kromidha was born on November 9, 1930. He completed general secondary education. In 1954, he started working at the Kinostudio “Shqiperia e Re”, first in the lighting department and later as an administrator of the film crews of documentary and chronical films.
In 1966, he started as a sub-director in the feature film “Echoes in the Coast” and until 1986 directed the filming of 25 feature movie as a producer.
At the same time, he also worked in documentary film, and in the last years 1986-1990 in the branch of feature film production. Among the Kinostudio films bearing his signature as a producer, we can mention:
“Perse bie kjo daulle” – 1969; “Mengjese lufte” – 1971; “Rruge te bardha” – 1974; “Ne fillim te veres” – 1975; “Fije qe priten” – 1976; “Zonja nga qyteti” – 1976; “Shembja e idhujve” – 1977; “Vajzat me kordele te kuqe” – 1978; “Radiostacioni” – 1979; “Gezhoja e vjeter” -1980; “Ne cdo stine” – 1980; “Pas vdekjes” – 1980; “Nje emer midis njerezve” – 1983; “Fejesa e Blertes” – 1984; “Ne prag te jetes” – 1985; “Pranvere e hidhur” – 1985; “Dasem e cuditeshme (1986); “Kur ndahesh nga shoket” – 1986. 
Josif Kromidha retires in 1990, after a 36-year career in Kinostudio, from where he then started a private business.
Passed away on September 24, 2008, leaving behind with decades of hard work a contribution to Kinostudio as the only house of Albanian film, an indisputable part of the people and the national wealth of the Albanians.
It was published for the first time in September 2019 on the page with the same name on Facebook. Josif’s daughter, Mrs. Aferdita Kromidha, to whom we thank from the bottom of our hearts, helped to complete the information.
