During his mandate as the head of the KCC, he had the esteemed privilege of supporting and collaborating with exceptional filmmakers and films, including but not limited to ‘Hive’ by Blerta Basholli, ‘Babai’ and ‘Exile’ by Visar Morina, ‘Looking for Venera’ by Norika Sefa, ‘Vera Dreams of Sea’ by Kaltrina Krasniqi, ‘Zana’ by Antoneta Kastrati, ‘The Hill Where Lionesses Roar’ by Luana Bajrami, ‘Cold November’ by Ismet Sijarina, ‘Shok’ by Jamie Donoughue, ‘In Between’ and ‘Displaced’ by Samir Karahoda, among numerous others. These films generated significant attention at international festivals such as Cannes Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival, Karlovy Vary Film Festival Sundance Film Festival, San Sebastian International Film Festival, Venice Film Festival contributing to the emergence of the so-called Kosovo New Wave.

Controversy

On his appointment as President, Zharku controversially spoke out against the stagnating state of film financing in Kosovo. Zharku has urged for reform of the structure of film financing within Kosova arguing for financing of the "Kosovo New Wave" filmmakers who have traditionally made 'no budget' or guerrilla filmmaking films.

Zharku has set out to back voices that he believes are relevant and powerful, voices with international reach. For Zharku it is important that the stories of filmmakers and actors are heard and that the growing swell of new Kosovar talent is nurtured.

" With the youngest population in Europe it is high time that our new voices are heard".
