1952 – 1996 History, her artistic activity through photos. Artistic Films, Actors, Documentaries, Chronicles, Reports, Kino-Diary Sketches. Without exaggeration, it was a small Hollywood, or a "CineCitta" for Albania, entirely of our brand created "with our own strength", with colossal work, sacrifices and hard work, for which the Albanian people and the state should be proud. 44 years of artistic activity in the production of Film, considered for the time "Socialist Common Property". The change of the political system and the economic crisis of the 90's brought about its transformation into "Albafilm" and in 1996 the closure of its existence was marked. Anyway, everything that was produced in Kinostudio as the only film house for the Albanian state, remains the property and national wealth of Albania. Even though this is the copyright law enjoyed by this Institution, after the 2000s, there are many individuals who abuse the productions made by Kinostudio, and even recently some directors have been noticed who actually worked in the service of the people to create art, i.e. "under public domain" and never under his private property. It is well known by everyone that privacy was strictly forbidden in every field of life. Based on these violations, this public page, "Albanian Cinema" will not stop saying its word to the sovereign about what to do with his property. The Albanian film produced by the Kinostudios brand "Shqiperia e Re" is without question the property and wealth of the Albanian people. No individual, even those who once worked in the service of the people in the making of Albanian films, especially those who are held and have their name as directors, absolutely do not enjoy even the smallest copyright rights, for censorship, blocking, and privatization of Kinostudio's film. Any attempt of this nature by irresponsible, shameless persons is considered a violation and open theft of the property of the Albanian people.
PLEASE NOTE: The individuals who abuse the once created name (director) are ordinary thieves licensed by the current equally ordinary corrupt political class, by a neo-Ottoman parliament full of "Babatas' ass", (no relation to western democracy). ).These abusers of the ideal of extortion and destruction, among others, are part of a good organized smuggling traffic in the property of a people, just like in every field of life as well!
SAY TO PIRATES TOO: STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!! PROLOGUE Do you know that Albania is a country that for more than a quarter of a century has produced more films than India and the USA, always speaking in relation to number of population? In 1974, Kinostudio "Shqiperia e Re" produced about 14 films that year alone, which the great director and actor Rikard Larja himself has proved. Cinema is an important art and the politics of that 50-year-old time gave a necessary impulse to cultural activity and propaganda, but also through it to the emancipation of the popular masses. In this album there are photos that show the activity of Kinostudio in the production of Films, Documentaries and historical diaries during its 50-year operation as a state entity. HISTORY Kinostudio "Alxqiperia e Re" was and remains: the State Institution that produced films, distributed them, and prepared specialists in various fields of film. It was created as the property of the Albanian People and State and was inaugurated on July 10, 1952. Initially, it had the goal of creating, within a short time, the necessary conditions for the production of documentary and documentary films in the country. 
In the period 1957-1958, he managed to produce the first feature film "Tana" where its director was assigned Kristaq Dhamo, as well as the first short film "Her Children" (with director H. Hakani). In 1959, he shot the Albanian-Soviet co-production "Fortuna". Together with the strengthening of the supporting departments (decor, tailoring, costuming, props, lighting, props, and other components), some directors, operators, set painters, costume painters, sound engineers, etc., were trained in high schools abroad. which held the main weight of the Albanian cinematographic production in the first 20 years since the establishment (1952-1972) such as K. Dhamo, Dh. Anagnosti, V. Gjika, K. Dilo, H. Hakani, G. Erebara, G. Ikonomi…. Around the end of the 62s, the first studio for filming films (around 1.800 m2 with related facilities) was put into production. 
"Decorative stones" (1964) is the first color documentary processed in the KSHR laboratory, while in 1974 "Rruge te bardha" marks the first feature film in color. Two years later, ten feature films were produced, while an average of 40-45 films per year were produced in the field of documentaries and chronicles. There was also a weekly newspaper "Kinoditari" in circulation, as part of the reflection of the work in the Kinostudio "Shqiperia e Re" (KSHR). 1976 is considered the year of the organization of the First Albanian Film Festival, where feature film, documentary film and animated film competed together. Also to be noted is the rise of the animation sector in KSHR, a sector which managed to produce an average of 12-13 films per year with drawings, puppets, cartoons, plasticine and other techniques. In 1978 he finished building a new movie studio, with two studios addition. The smallest (with 230m2) was used for the department of combined frames, while the other (4.895m2) was used for the filming of feature films. Then Kinostudio expanded even more with the construction of a new film laboratory (1280m2) as well as a new sound studio (2.186m2). Kinostudio simultaneously performed the function of a qualification and specialization center for creators and young technical workers of the cinema through studios or simple and postgraduate courses. 
Until the 90s, Kinostudio "New Albania" produced on average 12 feature films per year, while in special years even 14, 15, sometimes even 16 of these. After the 90s, the complex of buildings and other movie studio environments changed destinations, many of them became studios of various private televisions.
