The festival will open with the screening of the film "Loveless" directed by Ivaylo Hristov. A special film featuring highlights from the greatest roles of actor Rusi Chanev will be screened to mark his 80th birthday.

The audience will have the opportunity to be the first to see Stephan Komandarev's new film ''Made in EU'' after its premiere in Venice. Among the highly anticipated events is a screening of the most-watched Bulgarian film of the year "Gundi – Legend of Love".

The festival will also present the co-production "The Shameless" by director Konstantin Bojanov, which won an award at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival.
