Well shot film with interesting character dynamics.
These type of films are important as they can display the talent and effort of upcoming producers and directors who may be limited by budgetary constraints, yet still deliver thought invoking stories and lessons.-An Encounter In The Air provides a window into the lives of two characters who are plagued by the socio-economic woes that are common in the region, and even more so in the rural Albanian mountains. These conditions and their effects are shown generationally through Blerim who is middle-aged and Drin who represents the youth.-The film touches on depression that brings about stress, hopelessness, and unrest. All of this melancholy tone is contradicted by the gorgeous towering mountains and crystal clear rivers of the region that are captured beautifully. (Large High Definition Tv Is A Must)-If you are Albanian or from this region of Europe you will connect with this film right away. (When Blerim desperately asks to borrow money from his sister, I found myself reaching into my own pocket as the viewer.)-No there are no UFOs!

Inspiring
The way how the story is brought to us is very impressive. Although a short move its absolutely a must watch. The narrative is slow and calm but messages are clear and the Ardit, as a young director has done a fantastic job making sure that these messages pass through you while inspiring, motivating and making you think.Actors on the other hand are phenomenal. Some of them new faces for me but with a huge potential.Great job! Looking forward to seeing more pearls from Ardit!

Sadiku is trying to bring a new voice to the cinema
In a world that is all about Marvel movies, superheroes, and remakes, the director Ardit Sadiku is trying to tell different stories. And he shows what you can accomplish within a low budget.Sadiku has his own language to tell his stories. The stories that are forgotten nowadays. And in those stories, he is trying to tell something. Maybe, this type of storytelling is not for everyone but it is fresh, intimate, and personal.Highly recommend checking out his other films and watch closely his for his upcoming films.

Real life drama
This real life drama takes place in the northern rural part of Albania. It brings to life some events that are inconceivable for the youth of the western world. I don't want to be a spoiler for the future viewer but all I can is that, It is nicely done from a very talented group of young professionals. I can't wait to see what can A.Sadiku produce on a bigger budget!
