ABOUT
ROLLING FESTIVAL

The Rolling Film Festivals, held in the years 2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, 2018, and 2021, have emerged as an esteemed biennial event in Kosovo, serving as a conduit for fostering understanding and collaboration between the Roma community and other communities within the region. These festivals are dedicated to supporting and showcasing Romani artistic expression while providing a jubilant, dynamic, and transformative setting aimed at dispelling stereotypes and promoting positive inter-ethnic relations. In line with Kosovo's Action Plan for the integration of Roma into national life, particularly in the realm of culture, this project seeks to establish Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with relevant government agencies, recognizing the program's alignment with the Action Plan. Moreover, the project endeavors to garner support from educational institutions and community venues.

The European agenda, as exemplified by European-level and national action plans, as well as the Decade of Roma Inclusion, underscores the significance of education, culture, and non-discrimination as essential tools for breaking the cycle of poverty and enabling successful inclusion of marginalized minorities in national life.

Each year, the Rolling Film Festivals showcase a fresh selection of films originating from various corners of the globe, encompassing both international contributions and locally-produced works. The films are thoughtfully curated to highlight the diversity, cultural richness, and shared humanity inherent inRoma stories. The Rolling Film Festival (RFF) encompasses a multifaceted program, culminating in a five-day-long film festival held in Prishtina.

About Rolling Festival

REFLECTING ON A
DECADE OF PROGRESS

Celebrating more than a decade since its inception, the Rolling Film Festival has not only offered our neighbors and neighboring countries a window into the lives of Roma individuals worldwide but has also provided a platform for the authentic portrayal of the experiences of Roma people in Kosovo through locally-produced films. Over the years, the festival has gained international recognition and has become a benchmark for other European film festivals interested in showcasing works by and about the Roma community. This growing acclaim and respect for the festival underscorethe importance of supporting similar events throughout Europe.

Throughout its existence, the Rolling Film Festival has achieved the following milestones:

Screened over 200 films exclusively within Kosovo, while maintaining an extensive database comprising more than 700 films.

Engaged approximately 3,000 young individuals in human rights programs across ten high schools in Kosovo.

Facilitated the creation of 70 short films through the Cikore Filmja European Film workshops.

Provided a nurturing space for budding Roma filmmakers in Kosovo to produce their debut works, resulting in ten awards being bestowed upon these films at festivals across Europe.

In response to the burgeoning international demand for access to Roma films, the organizers have developed a distinctive website platform dedicated to showcasing Roma cinema. This platform can be accessed at www.romacinema.org.
