The astounding film of Belgian brothers Luc and Pierre Dardene, "The Silence of Lorna", whose main role plays Kosovo actress Arta Dobroshi, has opened this year's edition of the International festival "World Fall Film Series".

Arta Dobroshi received critical acclaim for her key role in the film, which won the Best Screenplay Award at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.In the film, Arta Dobroshi plays Lorna, a hardworking Albanian immigrant in the grim Belgium city of Liege who is saving money to open her own snack bar. She is sharing a flat with Claudy (Jérémie Renier), with whom she has a hostile, businesslike relationship. It’s soon clear that Claudy is a degenerate and the pair are married – but only so that Lorna can gain Belgian citizenship. Lorna's character throughout the movie makes us feel empathy as she struggles to choose between her life, her dreams, and the life of another person.


The festival kicked off on November 7th and will last until November 21st, being held at the Chester Playhouse, in Nova Scotia. Mant other coutries are competing with other different film genres, such as Canada, China,France, Germany, USA, Ireland, Italia, Mongolia, etc...

This festival is a very important event in world cinematography that offers an experience which exceeds any prediction. Winners of numerous prestigious awards in international film festivals will appear on the screen of this festival.
