Biography

After finishing gymnasium in Peja, Sahatçiu studied literature at the University of Belgrade. Following the interruption of his studies due to compulsory military service, he worked as a translator for the publisher, Rilindja.[1] He later studied at the Academy of Dramatic Art in Zagreb, Croatia, and defended his thesis with staging Gogol's satirical play, The Government Inspector, at People's Provincial Theatre in Pristina.[2]

Sahatçiu's ethnographic film, 117, won the Grand Prix at the Belgrade Documentary and Short Film Festival in 1978.[3] [4] The film was described as a “spiritual portrait of the nation.”[5] [6]

As a theatre director, Sahatçiu worked at the National Theatre of Kosovo in Pristina.[7] [8] [9]

In 2018, Kosovo's Ministry of Culture posthumously honored Sahatçiu with a Lifetime Achievement Award for Cinematography.[10] [11] The same year, a street in Pristina was named after him.[12] In 2021, Posta e Kosovës issued postage stamps in its 'Arti skenik – Besim Sahatçiu dhe Leze Qena' series, commemorating Sahatçiu and Leze Qena.[13] [14]
