The premiere of the Bulgarian-Ukrainian film "The End of the River" by Bessarabian-Bulgarian director Vasil Barkov will take place today at 6.30pm at the Cinema House (37, Exarch Joseph Street, Sofia). The film is "an emotional and visually striking work born of collaboration between Bulgarian and Ukrainian filmmakers", according to the Executive Agency for Bulgarians Abroad, which is organising the screening.
The film tells the story of Fori - an amateur astronomer who travels with his best friend to Vylkovo - a town in Ukraine - to buy a cheap old Soviet telescope. It is a story of relationships lost and rediscovered, set against a backdrop of dramatic twists and turns, spiritual quests and contemporary challenges. It interweaves the personal with the historical, and pain with hope.
Special guests at the screening will be Ukrainian actress Katerina Molchanova in the female lead role and production designer Volodymyr Filippov. The film is a co-production that reflects the strength of the cultural dialogue between Bulgaria and Ukraine, seeking the universal in human experience across borders.
An interview with the film's director, Vasil Barkov, will soon be available on the Radio Bulgaria website.
