Kosovo’s entry for Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards, “Hive,” tells the true story of Fahrije Hoti (played by Yllka Gashi), whose husband has been missing since the war in Kosovo. She sets up her own small business to provide for her kids, but as she fights against a patriarchal society that does not support her, she faces a crucial decision. The film was directed and written by Blerta Basholli, who is excited to represent Kosovo for the first time on the 2022 Oscars shortlist. Watch our exclusive video interview with Basholli and Gashi above.
“It feels great,” says Basholli. “The film has had a really interesting journey and lovely one since Sundance last year. 2021 was a good journey for ‘Hive’ and for us. We come from a small country and although we have a lot of beautiful stories to tell, we do come from a small country.
