What do Bulgarian women think about their cinematic embodiments? Twelve women from different generations analyze eleven Bulgarian films made between 1960 and 2019.
The first part of this artistic research is shown in the exhibition, along with interviews with Bulgarian filmmakers and critics such as Ilka Zafirova, Dorothea Toncheva, Ivan Andonov, Georgi Mishev, Genoveva Dimitrova, Irina Aktasheva, and Hristo Piskov, who talk about gender in their own works.
