A creative achievement of Bulgarian documentary cinematography attracts the attention of one of the most renowned world film forums. The directorial project "Ahab Was Here - Reflections on Moby Dick" is officially invited to participate in the independent film festival in Cannes, France.
The film is an in-depth artistic exploration of the classic literary masterpiece once created by Herman Melville. Through a contemporary perspective, the author reveals fundamental human dimensions - psychological obsession, existential struggle, and the individual's inner conflicts.
The international premiere is planned for October 2025, which provides an exceptional opportunity to present Bulgarian documentary cinema to the global film community. The selection is a significant recognition of the creative potential and professionalism of local cinematographers.
The project demonstrates the ability of Bulgarian directors to interpret classical works through a contemporary lens while preserving the depth and philosophical essence of the original narrative.
