Concrete Mushrooms is an initiative started by Elian Stefa and Gyler Mydyti. The research studies the history of Albania, focusing on the reasons for building hundreds of thousands of bunkers all over the country during the Hoxha regime. The film follows with stories of the ways that the people of Albania nowadays coexist with the bunkers; why have they appropriated them, and how do they use them today.

Director

Gyler Mydyti was born in 1984 in Prizren, Kosova, and Elian Stefa in 1985 in Vlora, Albania. Due to various reasons they have had the opportunity to live in and come in contact with multiple cultures such as: Gyler in Prishtine-Kosova, Istanbul-Turkey, Tirana-Albania, Milan-Italy, Boras-Sweden, and Elian in Toronto-Canada, Athens-Greece, Milan-Italy, Tirana-Albania. This has given them the chance to compare and combine cultural elements in their creative output.
