How Long Will You Stay?

In their short, Arnit Likaj and Jasmin Rai explore their feelings and thoughts about what it is like to be caught in between two cultures. They have a migrant background and do not feel like they completely belong in either Germany or their parents' home country.
In their short film they work with self-written and self-spoken texts in their native languages, while the production process in a potato farm is shown.
This short film is their first one.

Jasmin Singh Rai was born in India in 2001 and is studying Film & Media Arts at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences. She came to Germany shortly after her birth, where she attended primary and high school. In September 2020, she began studying Media Informatics with a focus on film at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences until the Film & Media Arts program came out in 2022 and she transferred to it.

Arnit Likaj was born in Bremen in 2003, studies Film & Media Arts at Flensburg University of Applied Sciences as well and is also active as an actor.
His parents are originally from Kosovo, as they had to flee to Germany at the end of the 90s because of the war. As a result, he grew up with Albanian culture, which makes up an important part of his identity, and can speak Albanian fluently. After graduating from high school in June 2022, he decided to study Film & Media Arts in Flensburg.

Lord Of The House

A rebellious Kosovar midwife fights for her freedom, against century-old Albanian traditions. But as she grows older, she realises that what she longs for most, is her family’s love and appreciation. Her quest is set against the background of a transforming society where the role of these old customs, written up in the ‘Kanun’, is changing and people search for their own position in this new reality.

Daniëlle Bremer (1972) is a director passionate about telling human stories. She studied at the University of Amsterdam where she got her masters in Communication. From 2000 till 2007 she lived in Kosovo where she learned Albanian and made television programs and reportages for the United Nations, OSCE and international broadcasters such as CNN. Currently she is based in Amsterdam where she works on documentaries, reportages, television programs, commissioned films and online-projects about a range of topics.
