Kosovo Hollywood


Bet you never thought there would be the equivalent of Hollywood in Kosovo, did you? Well, right here in Prishtina is our own "Film City". This is the sign that points the way.....brings to mind "swimmin' pools" and "movie stars" right off, doesn't it?
I caught one of these local "films" a couple of months ago and I don't think anyone in the Foreign Films category at the Oscars has to start worrying about the competition yet. The dialogue was in Albanian and even I could figure out the plot. Seems that a trio of hotties from the city decided to go out to the villages to lure the men into their web of .... um, what I was not exactly sure. Apparently they succeeded in enraging the village women who caught our "girls" unprotected on a little road and descended upon them to give them a whupping they wouldn't forget. Just as the little tramps were about to get theirs what should appear but a knight in shining armor. In this case, it was a very American-looking man in a UN vehicle who came tearing up the road and they all piled into his SUV and in a cloud of dust disappeared into the sunset. The village women then scolded their errant husbands into submission (yeah, like that would happen here in Kosovo!) and the last scene showed some old man herding his goats ..... I guess this was to illustrate that everthing in the village had returned to normal. So let that be a lesson to you "city girls" who go to the villages to stir up trouble!
