Remembering the Others is a documentary about the meaning and power of public monuments in Kosovo. Who has the privilege to be represented in monuments? Why are there almost no monuments dedicated to women in Kosovo? Which other groups of people are denied representation in monuments? If the stories of marginalized groups are hushed, the canonised stories remain undisputed, thus creating a situation where some privileged groups are given access to top positions in society, whereas others are erased and pushed into oblivion.

As a personal narrative the film shows the inevitable need to understand the relationships between people. In this case, the relationship between a poet and a filmmaker is manifested through poet’s words for the filmmaker and filmmaker’s imagination view hearing these words. Combining documentary and fiction, the film’s genre emphasizes the contemporary way of communication and the surreal habitat that it is built between one another.
