The film “Made in EU” by director Stefan Komandarev won the Audience Grand Prize at the 63rd Gijón International Film Festival in Spain. The film triumphed in competition with 95 titles, BTA has reported.

“Within a few days, we won the Critics’ Award at the Arras Film Festival in France and the Audience Award in Spain. Every film-maker dreams of such a combination! This shows that good cinema can also be spectator-friendly – ​​something I deeply believe in and try to achieve in my films!”, Stefan Komandarev writes.


The film tells the story of a seamstress from a small town and her son. Iva is accused of being the cause of the outbreak of epidemic in the community and becomes a scapegoat for a system that has been profiting from her labour for years.
