First of all, what will happen? (2022) / Director: Florian Mehmeti Löffler / Length:  31 min. / Language: NONE / Subtitles: NONE / Entrance: FREE

“First of all, what will happen?“ (2022), shot at Grand-Hotel-Prishtina, follows a non-linear plot questioning the relationship between concrete matter of monuments and that of quantum physics.

Opposing the ideology presented in a monument, that of the ever lasting nationstate, Quantum physics defy commonsense notion of matter. In the tiniest scale, all matter behaves like waves and isn’t ever solid. First by affecting its viewer, it fixes its position as stable matter.

“First of all, what will happen?“ is an experimental film where each scene diffracts various temporalities within and across the field of space-time-matter. Sceneries never rest but are reconfigured within, dispersed across, and threaded through one another.

A kid drives an electric vehicle through the corridors of Grand until entering the famous Room 446, in that Josip Broz Tito resided during his visits in Kosovo. The man inhabiting the room is somewhat spooky* entangled with the kid — though he’s non-present in the eyes of the child, they connect through the ever-growing black-hole outside the windows.

* ‘Spooky action at a distance’ is how Albert Einstein famously described the concept of quantum entanglement.
