A feeling of promoting lobbyist interests and lack of constructive dialogue on serious issues in film art, has provoked Bulgarian filmmakers to meet with the Parliamentary Committee on Culture. A number of famous Bulgarian film directors, including Georgi Dyulgerov, Stefan Komandarev, Teodor Ushev, Ivan Nichev and others, wrote a letter to the Prime Minister and the Parliament.
They oppose the launch of an artificial division of Bulgarian cinema into "spectator's" and "festival" and the idea that the state should support cinema that sells well. "In Europe, it is these festivals and awards that guarantee the viewer the quality of a film," filmmakers said. "If state politicians abdicated from their obligation to support Bulgarian art and started directing aid to the market, it would be better for the Ministry of Economy to regulate the industry rather than the Ministry of Culture," the movie directors said.
