For Bulgarian films Cannes Film Festival is difficult place, there is a question of a complex European cultural policy; they seems not yet ready to excel Bulgarian film.

I am very happy that there are still audiences who need real films. Today every normal spectator can write on Facebook what he thought of a movie - it&#39;s the new type of criticism, according to which a film becomes good, bad, significant or less significant after meeting with the audience.

Sometimes the people in Cannes are afraid of some political nuances; today Europe is quite confused and very frightened. In this peaceful and settled a few years ago Europe becomes more complicated to make decisions ...

Bulgarian culture is a culture of lonely persons.
