Filmi “Sleeping with a tiger” për piktoren austriake Maria Lassnig te “Zeta Contemporary Art Center” Tiranë
🎬 ZETA Contemporary Art Center is thrilled to invite you to the Albanian premiere of “Sleeping with a Tiger” — a film that is far more than a biographical portrait of Austrian painter Maria Lassnig; it is a cinematic homage.

In this unique cinematic biography by Anja Salomonowitz, Birgit Minichmayr embodies Maria Lassnig at every age — 6, 19, 64, and 94 — moving through time as an eternally identical figure. The film translates the physical act of painting — “seeing and feeling the world from the inside out” — into a cinematic language, creating an intimate portrait of this exceptional artist.
This film is therefore no longer really a biopic. It is an evocative, picturesque vision of how memories and feelings are not anchored in time, but are able to evoke images at any time.
✨ This premiere is made possible thanks to the generosity of the Austrian Embassy in Tirana.
