The 38th Golden Rose showed an interesting trend in Bulgarian cinema: actors taking on directorial duties and making impressive features. Besides Ivaylo Hristov, who has been forging a strong directing career alongside his impressive acting filmography, actress Yana Titova won the Best First Feature Award for her independent film A Dose of Happiness [+leggi anche:

The jury, led by Bulgaria’s most popular directorial duo, Kristina Grozeva and Petar Valchanov, also favoured Ivan Vladimirov’s Scenes from the Life of an Actress, which received as many as three gongs: the Special Jury Prize, Best Directing and Best Screenplay. A short-film jury decided that there would be no full Best Short Film Award, and so only a Special Mention was handed out, to Slava Doytcheva’s Eggshells.
