Bulgarian evening 🇧🇬🎥 The Bulgarian evening brings us one of the films in competition, the Bulgarian drama "Windless" by Pavel G. Vesnakov. It is an immaculately shot and strikingly beautiful movie creating a powerful portrait of a reluctant but redemptive homecoming.
🎬 Kaloyan is a heavily tattooed young man who lives with his mother in Spain. He returns briefly to his hometown in Bulgaria to empty his family apartment, which is to be demolished along with the cemetery and many other buildings to make way for a casino, a spa complex, and a golf course. Kaloyan sets about his task quietly, without emotion and with apparent indifference. However, as he disposes of his recently deceased father's belongings, he visits neighbours and old acquaintances, and meets elderly people who will soon be evicted. Gradually, his detachment begins to crack and unexpectedly, even to Kaloyan himself, he starts to value the past lives linked to each discarded item while listening to heroic stories about his estranged father.
✨ The film premiered at Karlovy Vary IFF 2024 (Proxima Competition).
🏆 The film has been shortlisted among the 45 top European films for the European Film Awards 2024, competing in all major categories!
🗣️💬 After the screening we will have the opportunity to discuss the film with the director Pavel G. Vesnakov.
🍺 After the Q&A session, you are invited for an informal drink with some typical Bulgarian snacks.
