Movies

 It  is believed  that the first film, created in the world, was “Workers leaving the factory”,which was shot in 1895 . At that time Bulgaria was an economic upswing, so only 20 years later  the first Bulgarian film “Balgran is a gallant” (1915) was projected . The film was black and white and silent, and it remained only one or two frames.
Unfortunately, the Bulgarian cinema is not very developed in the coming years because of  the country's participation in several consecutive wars. Only after World War II  they began to build summer cinemas, and  memorable movies were created, some of which remain forever in the minds of Bulgarians. It’s operated mainly in three genres – historical films, comedies and dramas.

At the time of communism, the state paid a lot for the creation of new films and television productions. One of the most popular films of that time “Goat Horn” [Koziyat Rog] (1972), which won numerous international awards. At that time  the films: “Split Time”, “Orchestra without a Name”, “Ladies Invite” and many others were shot .

In 1964, the director Nedelcho Chernev created the first Bulgarian series “The Blond and the Dove”. But the most famous Bulgarian series aired in all socialist countries was “On Every Kilometer”.
After the changes in the Eastern block, Bulgarian movies  enter a new crisis and reduce the production of films, but with the becoming  of Bulgaria a member of  the European Union ,they began to create new modern films.
