BIFF Presents Digital Platform PLANKTON with Films

Until October 3rd, viewers have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of the cinematic masterpiece from 1958 - "Cleo from 5 to 7" by director Agnès Varda, nominated for an Oscar. The film is just part of the new offering from the Burgas International Film Festival.

For fans of the seventh art, the festival is launching an ambitious digital project called PLANKTON. This online platform promises to offer the Bulgarian audience a selection of specially selected short and medium-length films.

Within the platform, a new film will be published every week, available for free viewing for seven days. This gives viewers the opportunity to discover new names and enjoy a variety of cinematic styles.

Even more interesting is the possibility for intellectual enrichment. Some of the titles will be presented in specially curated programs, accompanied by interviews with directors or analyses by film specialists. This promises depth of experience and a chance for a more in-depth understanding of the films.

The main focus of the selection is on films that rarely find their way to traditional cinemas. This is due to the specifics of their distribution and format. The platform aims to create an alternative access to valuable cinema, which will enrich and complement the traditional cinema experience.

The films in PLANKTON are distinguished by visual boldness, an experimental approach, and a strong social and cultural context. The selection includes both established names and emerging directors whose works expand the boundaries of film language. Viewers can expect challenges and new ways of perceiving cinematic art.

In the remaining days until October 3rd, movie fans can enjoy the classic "Cleo from 5 to 7" by Agnès Varda, whose work has received recognition, including an Oscar nomination.

PLANKTON is a digital channel of the Burgas International Film Festival (BIFF). It is the festival team that is behind the concept, implementation, and content selection.
