From 13 to 31 March, Sofia will once again be the cinema capital of Europe, because the 28th Sofia International Film Fest is starting.

During the festival, awards for contribution to the art of cinema will be presented. The first prize is for the creative tandem awarded with the Golden Lion - Jessica Woodworth and Peter Brosens.

Bulgarian actress, Tsvetana Maneva, will also be among the award winners of the Sofia Film Fest.

Nadejda Koseva's film "The Trap" officially opened the 28th Sofia International Film Festival on March 13 in Hall 1 of the National Palace of Culture. Ecology, the modern world and the importance of preserving our human dignity are among its themes. BNT is a co-producer of the film.

"Ecology is as important as human life. if we do not take measures and care for our nature we simply will not be able to live a moment on our earth," said Stefan Kitanov - director of Sofia Film Fest.

"The Trap" places emphasis on an important topic - the preservation of nature and animal life on the planet. I believe that cinema should focus on such themes and I hope it will cause discussion, excitement, make people think and change", said Nadejda Koseva, director of "The Trap".
