PETITION IN DEFENSE OF THE ACADEMY OF FILM & MULTIMEDIA MARUBI (AFMM)

To: the President of the Republic of Albania Mr. Bamir Topi.

the Head of the Council of Ministers Mr. Sali Berisha.


We the signees of this petition, i.e. citizens, intellectuals, artists and students are fully aware of the fact that the Academy of Film & Multimedia Marubi is a national public asset, and an extremely important cradle of the Albanian culture and art.

AFMM is the only cinematographic institution that contributes to the education of the new generations in the whole in the region. AFMM is the representative symbol of the Western European values in Albania.

Based on the above we demand the following:

1. The immediate interruption and condemnation of the violence exerted by the State Police and the Culturural Administration against the Rector, students and the Academic Staff of AFMM;
2. The immediate initiation of the procedures for drafting and approving a Decision of the Council of Ministers (VKM) to legalize the premises requested by AFMM and its international partners since 2001;
3. The immediate and unconditional resignation of the Minister of anti-culture Ylli Pango, who dares to equalize culture and art to businesses and the trade market.
