🎬 SUBMIT YOUR FILM ➔ https://shortverse.com/submit Ina, an introverted 11-year-old immigrant, becomes captivated by a new classmate from her homeland, sparking a desperate quest for connection between dream and reality. Ofrandā Dir. Vjosana Shkurti https://www.travellingdistribution.com/ https://vjosana.com/films/ofranda/ "What feels unique about the film is how Shkurti blends two layers of identity. The arrival of this new student triggers a new feeling in Ina, which ultimately combines a need for community – with someone who shares her cultural background – and the awakening of desire. Shkurti perfectly places her protagonist in between these two impulses, poignantly depicting the quintessential questioning of early teenage years." - S/W Curator, Céline Roustan FULL REVIEW: https://www.shortoftheweek.com/2026/0...
