On the fortieth anniversary of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s, which falls on November 2, a group of fans wanted to celebrate his work, in an act of passion that has the intent to discover, inside the eclecticism of his work, especially the director and poet, besides he’s also known activity as a writer, journalist, publicist, critic; brilliant narrator of a country in the unstoppable race of his transformation. The initiative was launched in May, within the broader framework of the Tirana International Film Festival and the first edition of DocuTIFF. On that occasion, a first public meeting and discussion was held at the Black Box Theater on various aspects of his work. That first meeting opened the way to a public reading of some of Pasolini’s poems, translated in Albanian and yet unplub-lished, to be held on November 2, at the Tulla Cultural Center.
