Overview
Goddess on the Throne Film Festival is an annual international film festival founded in 2002 as the first film festival in Kosovo by Besim Ajeti and held at Fushë Kosova Railway Station in Kosovo. Films are shown on trains moving from one city to another. This is the most unique festival in the Balkans. This will be the 19th edition of the festival. During the past editions, participating films and winners of certain categories of the festival have achieved extraordinary success in promoting their films. The festival aims to represent and promote world cinematography in Kosovo and vice versa by creating and maintaining contacts with filmmakers from all over the world through organizing film screenings and workshops in the most original ways, bringing together directors, filmmakers and artists to share values and to encourage and support their further work.

It was an honor that our short film was selected and nominated for the "Goddess on the Throne" festival, our Kosovo premiere! My only regret is that I could not attend this well-produced festival.
