“…Not overlapping with the schedule of the Albanian film festivals and encroaching a larger time dimension, Grgić divided Albanian cinema alongside three-time frames, the Soviet period (1948)(1949)(1950)(1951)(1952)(1953)(1954)(1955)(1956)(1957)(1958)(1959)(1960), the Chinese period (1966)(1967)(1968)(1969)(1970)(1971)(1972)(1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978) and the period of isolation (1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985)(1986)(1987)(1988)(1989)(1990) (Grgić, 2021).…”

“…Since their detailed works is written in Albanian and not translated, these materials unfortunately are not at hand of foreign scholars, except for a few passionate able to read and understand the language. Important and wide-scale studies from these scholars are as well available, with Bruce Williams publishing extensively, together with Grgić and others (Williams, 2012;Williams, 2015;Williams and Myftari, 2020;Grgić, 2021).…”

“…Most of Albanian filmmakers and directors were educated in Eastern communist countries, with Soviet Union having the main say while helping a lot to create and maintain the future of the Albanian film industry (Mëhilli, 2018). Once in alliance with Soviet Union, and then the unexpected come about towards China, has led authors to suggest a straightforward connection between geopolitical moves, movie themes selection and why not, actor performing (Grgić, 2021). A few have hazarded, however, to raise red flags about "any reductive understanding of Albanian cinema as a tool of political education"; and while doing so, were talking about Albanian movies offered to the Chinese viewers (Lu, 2021).…”

The medical profession has been surrounded from mixed feelings of admiration, mysticism, as well as of fear and refusal. Authors and enthusiastic directors have dedicated serials and movies to the physicians’ everyday work, in their ebbs and tides. Albanian cinema produced a score of titles dedicated to the medical profession, with some movies focusing on the physician as the principal role, and some others more peripherally. The physician as a movie character underwent serious changes in the way the directors and scripts defined it, and maybe even in the way the general audience perceived the same. Changes in this modeling of physician’s character were part of the maturation process of the Albanian cinematography that has otherwise been strongly politicized from scholars; this trend could as well, or mainly, be related to the intrinsic alterations of the Albanian society from the immediate post WWII, until the fall of the totalitarian regime.

“…Journalists and editors disseminated objective information about political events in the region and highlighted German and international views. During the years of crises, wars, reconstruction, and transformation, Deutsche Welle informed its audiences about significant events, not forgetting about Germany, Europe, and the world (Grgić, 2021). During Deutsche Welle's 30 years of presence in Southeast Europe, its programming for the region has changed.…”

“…Deutsche Welle's programs focus on freedom of the press, human rights, and democratic standards, providing in-depth analysis unmatched in the region. Deutsche Welle's mission is to transmit analysis based on large volumes of information in the age of multimedia (Grgić, 2021). In general, due to the spread of foreign press sources, it is possible to significantly expand the media system of another country, and contribute to the development of the objectivity of the mass media.…”

Studying the past interactions between Germany and Albania in the field of media is an important topic, as it is crucial for understanding the current challenges and finding solutions to promote cooperation and communication between two countries in the future. The purpose of the research is to compare the historical development of the mass media in Germany and Albania, as well as to consider the models of interaction between these countries in the field of media. During the research, the following methods of theoretical knowledge were used: analysis, comparison, synthesis, and generalization. As a result of the study, several conclusions were drawn, in particular, regarding the role and position of the mass media in Germany and Albania in different historical periods. Thus, it was found that the development of mass media began in the 19th century, under the influence of the industrial revolution. Albanian media during this period was not as independent as German media, because Albania was part of the Ottoman Empire. In the 20th century, interaction and assimilation of German and Albanian mass media began to take place, in particular, due to the activities of the communist regime and the process of liberalisation. In today’s world, the Albanian mass media have several problems, as they are dependent on private entrepreneurs and are also quite centralised. The study of the media interactions of Germany and Albania is valuable for historians and political scientists who seek to increase knowledge of their history, facilitate communication and cooperation between the two media systems. It is especially valid in identifying the model or standard towards which the Albanian media system should develop in its path towards self-regulation.
