POET AND PEGASUS

The myth of Pegasus, as a symbol of artistic zeal, along with the myths of Icarus, Prometheus and Sisyphus, is one of the eternal themes which has often been revised throughout the centuries. The Pegasus’ inevitable companion is the Poet – they are as inseparable as Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. Every “desperate” poet thinks that his personal experience is so important and interesting that it must be relayed to the readers at any cost, even when the last drop of inspiration has gone.

WHEN SPRING COMES

The film is a story of the different patterns of marital relations in some seemingly monogamous animals and birds. Does infidelity, as we people perceive this phenomenon, exist in nature? Is there a natural mechanism, regulating the reproductional processes? Using the means of expression of a popular science film this film gives an answer to the aforesaid questions.

SLAVKA

Despite her outstanding talent, Slavka Deneva was forsaken, pressed and ignored by the totalitarian institutions. Her first exhibition took place a decade after her death, in 1994. Today her works occupy their well-deserved place among the eminent representatives of modern Bulgarian painting. She is the biggest individual donator in the whole history of Communist Bulgaria.

THE FRENCH WOMAN OF BULGARIAN NCO

Wiener waltzes and ridiculous historical analyses… The war usually harms the people’s life, but in the family of Ivan Chuchurigin the WWI is a recollection of something marvelous.

WHOSE IS THIS SONG?

"In a small nice restaurant in Istanbul I was having dinner with friends from various Balkan countries – a Greek, a Macedonian, a Turk, a Serb and me, Bulgarian. There I heard the song whose story is told in the film. As soon as we heard the song everyone started claiming that the song came from his own country. Then we started a fierce fight – whose is this song? I wanted to find out why the others also claimed the song was theirs…" Adela Peeva
