Bulgaria will be represented by two short films at the EU Film Days 2025, which will take place in the Japanese cities of Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Kyoto.

According to the Facebook page of the Bulgarian Embassy in Japan, this year's edition of the festival will focus on animated cinema. Bulgaria will be represented with ''The Artist’s Daughter'' and ''Family Portrait of the Black Earth''. The films will be screened on June 30, and July 2, 3 and 6 in Tokyo.

BTA recalls that ''The Artist’s Daughter'' is the work of animator Dimitar Dimitrov. It is the first Bulgarian animated film whose images were generated using artificial intelligence. ''Family Portrait of the Black Earth'' (2024), directed by Ivan Popov, is based on the short story of the same name by Yordanka Baleva.
