With the screening of Milena Fuchedzhieva's documentary film dedicated to the writer Fani Popova-Mutafova - “Weimar Express” - the first winter edition of the DOCK International Documentary Film Festival in the NHC Cultural Center was closed. "The film raises serious reasons for reassessing our attitude towards our own history and towards the great names in art - and towards the role of the creator, faced with great historical cataclysms," commented before the screening the authoritative Bulgarian journalist, screenwriter and host Dimitar Stoyanovitch, co-founder and chief selector of the DOCK International Documentary Film Festival. "There are very strong titles included in the winter edition of the festival. I have watched a film by Milena, but I had no hesitation when I saw that it was included in the program to come again to watch it, "said Deputy Mayor of Culture Diana Savateva at the closing of the festival. Fuchedzhieva's film presents a strong and troubling look at the mechanisms of Nazi propaganda and the striving for cultural domination over Europe, led by Joseph Goebbels and supported by a circle of writers and intellectuals. Among them are names like Fani Popova-Mutafova, Knut Hamsun, and Robert Brasillach. The history of the European Writers' Union, whose co-founder turned out to be the Bulgarian author Popova-Mutafova, reveals a little-known page from European and Bulgarian cultural history. It is this discovery that becomes a personal motive for the director. In her meeting with the audience after the screening, Milena Fuchedzhieva shared that for her, cinema is not an end in itself, but a means of reaching important but neglected historical truths and that she expected the film not to be received unequivocally. In her words, “Weimar Express” is an attempt to give voice to events and facts in which Bulgaria has a significant, albeit often unspoken, participation. Within a few days, the DOCK festival turned Burgas into a place to meet the past and for an in-depth conversation on topics such as historical memory, guilt and responsibility, as well as the clash between the individual and ideological machines.
