Animation around Europe: Bulgaria

This programme is dedicated to the Bulgarian animated cinema, showcasing films from both its glorious past and present. Curated by Pencho Kunchev

Empathize with the passion of a standard-bearer whose cause suffers an unexpected end. Understand why a client’s beard grows while the barber sharpens his razor or why iron cools before the blacksmith has hit it with the hammer. Witness a touching friendship between a child and an old fisherman among the icy mountains of the far North and mingle with the patients of a madhouse who seem indistinguishable from “normal” people.

Recommended for ages 12+
