Cinema at home with BCI London: “The sinking of Sozopol”

Dear friends,

This Sunday, 2 May 2021, from 18:00 GMT, in the online series “Cinema at home with BCI London”, we will broadcast for you the Bulgarian film:

“Far from the shore”

Genre: drama

Director: Kostadin Bonev

Screenwriters: Nikola Petkov, Evgeny Kuzmanov, Kostadin Bonev

Cast: Penko Gospodinov, Stefan Valdobrev, Joreta Nikolova, Joana Bukovska-Davidova, Mariy Rosen, Tsvetana Maneva, Maya Novoselska, Antonio Dimitrievski and others.

Synopsis:

“Far from the Shore” is based on Evgeny Kuzmanov’s novel “Seagulls Far from the Shore” censored before 1989, defined as an outright satire of the totalitarian regime. The Bulgarian-Ukrainian co-production is an interpretation of the relationship between the artist and censorship.

The story happened 40 years ago. Or before 30… Some people claim that the amazing things that are talked about in the movie can happen now. A talented theater director, banished from the capital for two years, was sent to a small provincial theater, where he wanted to stage a play that obsessed his thoughts. It speaks of people who are constantly monitored and live in constant fear of punishment. Gradually, the nightmares of the play began to carry over into the life of the troupe.

The video can be viewed on the Youtube channel and the Facebook page of BCI London until 22:00 on Monday, May 3.
