National Historic Museum in Tirana is pleased to present the Fani Zguro's 'Entrada' (2014). The film 'Entrada' consists in a long assembly process, where dozens of Colombian and Venezuelan soup-opera trailers are cut and assembled in a single file. This project was commissioned by Contemporary Istanbul in 2014 and started during the artist AiR at CP3 in Medellin in 2011.
