Muhamet Sherri (1948-2011) | Commemorative!

Muhamet Sherri (1948-2011) Actor of "Bylis" theater, Fier as well as of Albanian cinema. With a calm and fatherly appearance, with a very characteristic timbre of voice, with his light steps in contrast to his large physique, these are the characteristics of the multi-faceted actor Muhamet Sherri. He was born on March 12, 1948 in the city of Fier. originally from Cameria, his parents came from there in 1944. His life has been full of surprises, sometimes pleasant and sometimes unpleasant, sometimes life has caressed him and sometimes slapped him, but he has never fallen. . After completing the mandatory military service in 1970, he began his studies at the Higher Institute of Arts (today the Academy of Arts) in the Drama Department in Tirana. From 1973, he started working as an actor in the "Bylis" theater in Fier.

He performed in more than 40 roles in the theater, receiving several awards at the Theater Festivals in 1978, 1983 and 1986. In addition to his involvement in the theater, Muhamet Sheri also performed 12 roles in cinematography. Here we can mention his first role, the role of the brigadier in the film "Brazdat", the role of Bush in the film "General Gramophone" in 1978, the role of Ndreka in the film "The End of a Feud" in 1983, the role of the innkeeper in the film "Ballad of Kurbin" in 1989, etc. He has always been welcomed by the art lover, not only Fierak, but in all corners of the country, even outside the borders, with applause and ovations. "This has saved me a lot of love and sadness," he said. Muhamet Sherri's golden time in cinematography will be the period of 1976-1984, where Muhamet with his vocals, his warm voice, his strong and masculine physique, attracted the attention of directors and operators with names like Viktor Gjika or Pali Kuke. . The years 1977 and 1978 were when he played in various filming locations for the films "General gramophone" and "The road of letters". During the shooting of these films, he has many pleasant and bitter details, where the difficulties of the actresses were increased even more by the savings, the plan or the famous actions before the shooting, the idiocy of the monist system, or the instructions from "above" by the leaders of Kinostudios "New Albania".

His last role is the role of Kostas, a Greek farmer, Papuli, as they affectionately call him, is a role of a wise, good, benevolent man, who conveys very humane messages to other characters, especially Greek ones. who have a negative mentality towards the Albanians who, forced by the economic conditions, have taken the gray roads of Kurbet in the neighboring land. Muhamet Sherri was an actor with a 35-year career, receiving awards from 1976, 1981, 1989 at the last Festival in Tirana with the drama "Beautiful old house" by Pellumb Kulles. He also received an award in 1986 with the role of Hodo Ruzhaj in "The Winter's Dream", with the role of Xhafo Idrizi in "2 Krisma in Paris", so Sherri has never been considered a "provincial" actor. For Muhamet, both Film and Theater have made no difference. Here's how he answered this question: "Each with its own beauty, its own advantages, the beauty of the theater is that you have the emotion inside the hall directly with the spectator, within 2 hours, the emotions are completely released, while the cinematography has another advantage that you remain in the fields, generations look at your work. For example, there is a film that I played in "The Way of Letters" in 1977, in "Gramafoni General", "Gunat permbi tela", "On the verge of life", "The end of a blood feud" and others that I don't remember now. They remain, but of course the drama that is beautiful is filmed and it remains recorded, which has been performed several times, such as "2 Christmas in Paris", a drama that has been shown hundreds of times and the audience welcomes it, or "Maria Oktober ", "Who killed Castij" a model show, "The Witches of Salem", "Pusi" etc. which continue to be in the VAT archive."
