Written and directed by Adrian Guri “For a Few Kilowatts More” is a cinematic journey through Albania’s rivers, exploring the fragile balance between development and preservation. The film begins with the Drin River, once a powerful and unified waterway, now reduced to a chain of hydropower reservoirs—its controlled flow reflecting a reality where nature is no longer free, but engineered.

From there, the film moves into the Albanian Alps, where the Cem River faces growing pressure from planned hydropower projects. Local communities, excluded from decision-making processes, begin to resist, supported by environmental groups and inspired by the fight to protect the Vjosa River.

As the journey unfolds across rivers like the Devoll, Osum, Shkumbin, and Buna, a pattern emerges: landscapes transformed, ecosystems threatened, and voices struggling to be heard. The film culminates at the Vjosa—one of Europe’s last free-flowing rivers, standing as both a symbol of resistance and a question for the future.
