Tonight at 22:00, Radio Television of Kosovo (RTK) will premiere the documentary “The Tunnel of Resistance – Kurrizi of the 90s”, exploring how the Kurrizi area, once known for its cafés, became a hub of cultural resistance and a space for collective memory during the 1990s.

RTK Director Rilind Gërvalla told Mirëmëngjesi Kosovë that the film highlights how a community organized itself under occupation, fostering cultural and political engagement through film and theater screenings, visual exhibitions, and book promotions.

“Together with journalist Kaltrina Ajeti and producer Mumin Jashari, we created a team to preserve collective memory and historical remembrance. Kurrizi was where the new mentality of the 90s emerged- a mix of small Europe, rock America, and a liberal mindset,” Gërvalla said.

He also emphasized the role of public broadcasting in documenting history, noting that RTK’s anniversary this year will feature screenings of the broadcaster’s best documentaries both on television and in local cinemas.

“The premiere of ‘Kurrizi’ is just the beginning; in the future, we hope to produce a series on the 90s, the resistance, and the new communities that emerged during that period,” Gërvalla added.
