Two projects by Albanian filmmakers Erenik Beqiri and Redi Treni are part of eQuinoxe Europe, the international screenwriting lab taking place in Durrës from October 26 to November 2, 2026. The program is being held in Albania for the first time and is now in its 31st edition.
A week of work before the films get made
The lab brings together screenwriters and producers with selected projects, who work with international mentors to develop their scripts. The announcement for this edition lists 29 film industry professionals.
The work focuses on refining and deepening the stories, with the aim of preparing the projects for the next steps toward production. In other words, the lab is about developing future films, before the shooting stage.
Erenik Beqiri and Redi Treni among those selected
The presence of two Albanian projects puts their authors in the same workspace as filmmakers and advisers from other countries. For Beqiri and Treni, taking part means working on their selected projects within the lab.
The first edition in Albania
The Durrës edition is organized in cooperation with the National Center of Cinematography. eQuinoxe Europe has more than 30 years of history in script development and in connecting writers with industry professionals.
The program in Albania runs until November 2. Its focus is professional work on the projects and exchange between filmmakers, with the goal of taking the scripts all the way to the screen.
