ILL-ENDOWED

Written and Directed by: Aurela Berila

documentary / 30' / in post-production

This experimental observational documentary takes as its starting point the interaction between a sister and a brother as they attempt to form a genuine human connection within a patriarchal order inherited through generations, an order defined by a predetermined imbalance of power, manifesting here in an intimate (yet paradoxically distant) familial relationship.

Through archival footage and tangential imagery enriched with contextual cues, the narrative follows a pivotal incident that ultimately disrupts the fragile bond between the two protagonists, prompting viewers to question the stability and legitimacy of outdated traditions.

The documentary aims to portray contemporary notions of masculinity as they circulate among the youth in present-day Pristina (narrated in the first person), especially how these notions continue to reproduce oppressive power dynamics borrowed from a not-so-distant past, and refracted through the hedonistic culture of late-stage capitalism.
