Bujanovac – Fahri Musliu, a journalist, a writer and a translator, promoted in Bujanovac the monograph “Bekim Fehmiu – The Odysseus from Kosovo.”
The monograph contains eight chapters and begins with the one called "Suicide as a Personal Act." The book also includes numerous interviews that Mr. Fehmiu granted during his lifetime.
Bekim Fehmiu gained worldwide fame by the role of Beli Bora in Sasa Petrovic’s film "I Even Met Happy Gypsies," which, in 1967, won the Palme d’Or in Cannes and was nominated for an Oscar.
Film critics used to say about Bekim Fehmiu that he was the only Eastern European actor who had pushed the boundaries and acted in the movies made in the west "by getting through the iron curtain until the arrival of Gorbachev and the fall of the Berlin Wall."
He acted in Albanian, Serbo-Croatian, Macedonian, Romany, Turkish, Spanish, English, French and Italian. But he always came back here.
He finished his memoirs, in which he described his life from his birth in Sarajevo in 1936, through his life in Kosovo until1956, to the commencement of his employment at the Drama Theatre in Pristina, in 1985, but waited until 2001 to publish them in the book entitled "Brilliant and Terrifying", issued by "Samizdat B92".
