from the International feature films jury. Mackenzie and Cvitković
said that they expect to watch fresh films, which are typical for young
filmmakers – not films with speciffic special effects, but films that
are work in the reality they create, brave, honest and beautiful. Mark
Baschet said he expects from the short films in the Jameson comp...

Ave is
one of the most highly anticipated films of the year. The work keeps
the viewers in a natural suspense that is not a filmmaking trick but the
core of the story told – universal on one hand, but on the other hand,
somehow corresponding to the local reality (just before the start of the
shooting Konstanin Bozhanov was offered to rewrite the script and
moving the story to Seattle, but he refused because it didn’t seem
natural to him). A film with very dark and poorly lit sp...

Walking around New York, London or Paris, if you offered someone 100 dollars, pounds or euros to name just one Bulgarian film or director, you'd likely still have the money in your pocket after an hour of trying. Of course, this fact has nothing to do with a lack of productivity or talent in contemporary Bulgarian cinema.And with “Avé”, the feature film debut by director Konstantin Bojanov, Bulgarian cinema's profile is likely to be raised higher, as audiences discover a deeply personal and...

One of the most memorable films I have seen this past year was the haunting and lyrical film WHITE AS SNOW (Turkey, 2010) by director Selim Gunes and producer Nur Gunes. This is an unforgettable experiment in storytelling, disrupting our linear-prone conception of time in order to think in fragments. The mind doesn’t look back in time sequentially so why should a film that is retrospective? In this film about a poor young boy, Hasan, from the 1970’s, the viewer is forced to struggle through...
