After a long stagnation, the Bulgarian film industry is back on track. In terms of output, it is well behind Bollywood and Hollywood, but the Bulgarian cinematographers received scores of awards at various international film festivals in the past few years -- showing they can compete with the best in the trade.
Some of the best motion pictures have helped restore public confidence in the industry.
"Mission London", a satirical comedy directed by Dimitar Mitovski, which won this year's Unbribable Award at the Motovun Film Festival in Croatia, and "Love.net", an innovative drama about online dating, are among the movies that raise hope in Bulgarian moviemaking.
