A year and a half after my visit to Kosovo I will be back for the screening of "Branding Kosovo", a documentary about the creation of the symbols that represent the identity of The Republic of Kosovo; the state flag and the anthem.
I'm very curious to see the reactions of the local audience to the film.
The festival directors seem to have liked it because the whole special section of the festival about Kosovo has been named after my film, "Branding Kosovo".
If you are thinking of going to Dokufest get in touch with me through my email!

Tile
Designs from Portugal (Hard cover + DVD)
The
Pepin Press (Author: Diego Hurtado de Mendoza)
---
In
2004 I decided to take a break from my normal life in Madrid and left
for Portugal to find answers to many vital
questions that haunted me. The time that I spent there, mainly in Lisbon,
became a crucial one in my existence, helping me define some of the ideals
that have guided me ever since.
This book was born as a way to create a permanent bond with the country
that had given me so much. It's my own way of saying "thank you"
and trying to give something back to the portuguese.
Obviously this is all disguised as a book on graphic design that should,
in reality, be helpful to designers, architects and anyone interested
in learning about these aspects of Portuguese culture.
The book includes a prologue writen by Dr. Paulo Henriques, then Director
of the National Museum of Tile of Portugal.
