Ndriçim Xhepa, who was recently invited to the show “Ka Motor’”, spoke about his artistic life in theater and film.
Xhepa nostalgically recalls the old days when he says that actors worked long hours with great passion and without financial interest.
“In the 80s, I started working in theater. I preferred to be part of theater and screen… not many actors are involved in the theater and film shooting arena.
I am one of those individuals who, with my love for work but also my acting abilities, have been on stage and on screen.
In the 40 years that I have been in this profession, I have spent almost half of my time in this yard.
I have collaborated with these directors, with these camera people, costumers and decorators. I have spent an incredible amount of time.
Filming sometimes started at 8 in the morning and ended at 3 in the night.
When the drivers got tired, we got off on foot, but it was a great spirit and desire of passion.
Not that it doesn’t exist today, but there was another form of cooperation with each other. There was no interest at all, because people worked in different positions for the salary they received. It was the desire to make a good film, to make a good spectacle.
It was not the mania of thinking about how much I would earn from this job and whether I would be able to reach these financial levels tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, or luxury vacations that have begun to grow rapidly since the 90s.
In the past, we didn’t use cars at all, but only the urban to fulfill our desires.
This profession is done to please ourselves. It is done for the pleasure of the public. The responsibility and pleasure are doubled,” said Xhepa./Albanian actress
