Housewarming, Housewarming

A tale in verse, told and sung in the style of traditional Albanian iso-polyphony. This singing occurs during gatherings or popular celebrations. Iso refers to the drone, the note that is continuously sounded throughout the song, on which the polyphony is based. The lyrics chosen by artists Effi & Amir were gathered during the interviews. They settle down in unfinished detached houses. Those fragments construct the film. (GG)Amir Borenstein Effi Weiss
