A Peculiar Character

7 Teams, 7 Films, 7 Master Classes

The teams of seven Bulgarian contemporary film directors will create seven short films inspired by and dedicated to Plovdiv. They are all part of the "KINOPLOVDIV" project, a highlight in the programme of Plovdiv – European Capital of Culture. When finished, the seven works will be pieced together into a feature-length film omnibus, which will be premiered in April 2019. In 2018 a series of master classes, workshop discussions and meetings with audiences unveiled fascinating details of the art of filmmaking.
