Besim Sahatçiu (Albanian pronunciation: [sahatˈtʃiu];[pronunciation?] 2 October 1935 – 20 October 2005) was a Kosovo Albanian director of theatre and film.
Biography[]
After finishing gymnasium in Pejë, Sahatçiu studied literature at the University of Belgrade. Following the interruption of his studies due to compulsory military service, he worked as a translator for the publisher, Rilindja.[1] He later studied at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, Croatia, and defended his thesis with staging Gogol's satirical play, The Government Inspector, at People's Provincial Theatre in Prishtina.[2][3]
Sahatçiu's ethnographic film, 117, won the Grand Prix at the Belgrade Documentary and Short Film Festival in 1978.[4] The film was described as a “spiritual portrait of the nation.”[5]
As a theatre director, Sahatçiu worked at the National Theatre of Kosovo in Prishtina.[2][6][7]
In 2018, Kosovo's Ministry of Culture posthumously honored Sahatçiu with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Cinematography.[8][9] The same year, a street in Prishtina was named after him.[10]
