Bulgarian Cinema | with after-talk by film Director Kamen Kalev

Important update:
Due to the icy weather, the RUG buildings will close at 20.00. Our event will still take place at 18.00, but we will screen another Bulgarian film by the same director. A film that is shorter in length so we can get home a bit earlier tonight. Hope to see you tonight!!

The Faculty of Arts at the University of Groningen warmly invites you to an evening of contemporary Bulgarian cinema, featuring a screening of ''Février'' (2020), followed by a conversation with its director Kamen Kalev. The event will be moderated by Julian Hanich, Professor of Film Studies.

Février is a contemplative, visually striking film that follows a solitary shepherd living on the margins of modern society. Through its minimal dialogue and slow, observational style, the film explores themes of isolation, routine, masculinity, and humanity’s fragile relationship with nature. Kalev’s work stands out for its poetic realism and its resistance to conventional narrative structures.

This event is free to attend.
This film will be subtitled in English / The after-talk will be in English

The screening and discussion are organised by Film Club FLIK, in collaboration with Study Association IK and the Faculty of Arts.
