European Film Week in Buenos Aires
On 12 May 2010, a European Film Week opened in Buenos Aires with the participation of 21 films from 20 European Union Member States. Bulgaria participated with the films “After the End of the World” and “Journey to Jerusalem” which were kindly granted by director Ivan Nichev. The film shows were organised by the embassy, and took place in the two largest organisations of the Jewish community in Buenos Aires. They were attended by representatives of the Argentine-Bulgarian Foundation in Buenos Aires. Writer and director Ivan Nichev participated in the event. Communication with the spectators was direct, and many interesting comments were made in a straightforward manner. The audience acquainted itself with the works of the eminent Bulgarian artist, and learned more about the mutual respect existing between the different ethnic groups in Bulgaria, about the tolerance and the salvation of the Bulgarian Jews during World War Two.
The European Film Week will be shown in San Miguel de Tucuman, Cordoba, Bahia Blanca and Salta.
