Sofia Film Fest in Plovdiv continues in May with the best of contemporary art cinema
New screenings of the hit ONE MORE and PINK FLOID: THE WALL awaits Plovdiv residents

The Plovdiv edition of Sofia Film Fest will continue in May with 18 new screenings. The festival was suspended due to the imposed lockdown in March. The films we failed to watch will be broadcast between May 14 and 24. In addition, we will be able to watch "One More", which in the meantime won an Oscar for a foreign language film and a new screening of Pink Floyd: The Wall. In the other tapes we will be able to see quality titles with favorite actors, such as Javier Bardem, Monica Bellucci, William Defoe and many others. The festival is held with the support of the Municipality of Plovdiv.

Festival exclusive screenings and premieres of "Paths of Life" are coming - Sally Potter's latest film with Javier Bardem and Salma Hayek, Zayda Bergrot's "Tove", dedicated to the famous artist and writer Tuve Janson, "The Man Who Sold His Skin" "Cauter Ben Chania with Monica Bellucci, "Siberia" by Abel Ferrara with William Defoe.

On May 20, in "Paths of Life", director Sally Potter offers us a mosaic of alternative life options that Leo (Javier Bardem) can experience. Potter's handwriting, an uncompromising, raw and ruthless story, is one of the hallmarks of her work, loved by fans and filmmakers alike, and her ability to extract from the actors all the best they can is truly admirable.

The favorite of many fans of books Tuve Janson will come to life on the screen in "Tuve" on May 21. Zaida Bergrot will meet us with the artist and writer of children's books, who in a difficult moment in life, concentrating on her painting, develops a side project - children's stories, which she tells kids in the bomb shelters.

Several other quality titles with favorite actors will also be part of the festival. Cinema legend Monica Bellucci will be seen in Cauter Ben Chania's The Man Who Sold His Skin, which won high honors at the Venice Film Festival. Director Abel Ferrara offers us a meeting with the acting skills of William Defoe in "Siberia". We will be able to watch Thomas Winterberg again with "One More" with the unique Mads Mickelsen, and the film has meanwhile won an Oscar for a foreign language film. A little earlier we will be able to watch a retrospective of Winterberg with the 1998 film The Feast.

The screening of "Pink Floyd: The Wall" will take place again - on Thursday, May 20.

The remaining program also includes two Bulgarian films - "Life" on May 14 with Ivan Burnev and "Petya of my Petya" about the Burgas poet Petya Dubarova on May 24.
