Early Years
The first Bulgarian feature film was "Bulgaran is Gallant" in 1915, directed by Vasil Gendov. During the 1920s, Bulgarian cinema was influenced by German expressionism and Soviet Montage techniques. The 1930s saw the rise of Bulgarian comedies and musicals. In the late 1940s, Bulgarian cinema was controlled by the Communist regime, and the industry produced propaganda films promoting Communist ideology.
Golden Age
The 1960s and 1970s are often referred to as the Golden Age of Bulgarian cinema. During this period, Bulgarian cinema gained international recognition and won prestigious awards at international film festivals. Directors like Christo Christov, Georgi Djulgerov, and Nikola Korabov produced thought-provoking films like "The Tied Up Balloon," "The Goat Horn," and "The Hedgehogs," which dealt with political and social issues in the Bulgarian society.
Post-1989
After the fall of the Communist regime in 1989, Bulgarian cinema faced various challenges, including a lack of funding and filmmakers' emigration to other countries. Despite these challenges, Bulgarian cinema produced some memorable films in the post-1989 period. Milena Andonova's "Monkeys in Winter" won the best film award at the Sofia International Film Festival in 2006. In 2013, "The Color of the Chameleon," directed by Emil Christov, was selected as the Bulgarian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 86th Academy Awards.
