SILENT OBSERVERS
Bulgarien, Deutschland 2024 – Director: Eliza Petkova – Original language: Bulgarian – Subtitles: English – Length: 95 min.
From the perspective of six animals, we observe the inhabitants of a remote Bulgarian mountain village. With charm, curiosity, self-confidence and dependability, they move through the everyday lives of the people around them. At the same time, this experimental and musically powerful film reflects on the question: what value do animals actually hold for us? Veronica Loebner
