Iljir, the French son of an immigrant from Macedonia, goes on the quest for the story of the grandfather he never knew. This ancester was a member of the Sufi order of the Bektâshî. Guided by his story, Iljir will travel through Kosovo, Macedonia and Albania. With him, we will reach the Mount Tomor, sacred place where the Bektashi gathers since the 13th century to realize a strange syncretism between Islam and Shamanism, open to the world.
A student of the Cours Florent in Paris and the National Conservatory of Dramatic Arts, Iljir Selimoski is an actor and a director. On the stage, he plays Bernard-Marie Koltès, Oscar
Wilde, Molière or Racine, confronting all periods and styles. On the silver screen, he often plays the part of the rugged characters with a big heart. Close to his Eastern European roots, he is often part of the adventures with the merry group of Tony Gatlif. He decides to write and direct Journey to Mount Tomor to explore these roots with more depth and tell a world that needs it the story of a humanistic and tolerant practice of Islam.
