The President of the Republic of Albania, His Excellency Bajram Begaj, expressed his condolences today to the family, relatives, and the artistic community on the passing of director Vladimir Prifti.
In a special message, President Begaj stated: “Today, Albanian art has lost one of its most talented directors, and Albania a resolute intellectual, Vladimir Prifti.
His name would have been eternalized in the pantheon of the finest Albanian directors with just two iconic Albanian films: ‘The Road of Letters’ and ‘The Butterfly in My Cabin’, yet his legacy encompasses many more cinematic accomplishments. As a sculptor of the image, he carved characters that remain indelible in public memory.”
President Begaj also acknowledges his contribution to society: “As an artist, intellectual, and above all, a man who loved his country, Vladimir Prifti is an inspiration for the new generations of Albanian cinema.”
“My deepest condolences to the family,” writes President Begaj in the message regarding the passing of director Vladimir Prifti.
