The 2020 Bulgarian Film Exhibition of the China Film Museum will open on November 10, and six high-quality Bulgarian films will be presented one after another, including "Defense", "Three-quarters", "King of Belgium", "My Pet Piglet", "Miracle of the Pig Farm" and "Glory Etching". The exhibition lasted for 6 days, and the ticket price was only 8 yuan.
The six works in this exhibition continue some of the aesthetic traditions of Bulgarian cinema, such as the romantic approach of the socialist period and the care of thought, personality and individual psychology that emerged in the late 1950s. At the same time, we can also see from these films that Bulgarian cinema is deliberately alienated and mildly rebellious to the aesthetics of the contemporary mainstream film industry.
Among them, "Defense" starts from an accusation case and points directly to the silent truth in history, and the overall tone of the film is calm and restrained, full of mystery and unknown. "Three-Quarters" is an important work that has attracted worldwide attention in previous years and won the Golden Leopard Award in the Contemporary Filmmakers Section of the 70th Locarno International Film Festival. The King of Belgium (aka The Return of the King) tells the story of King Nicholas III of Belgium on a visit to Turkey, and the queen hired documentary filmmaker Duncan to accompany him to make a bold, humorous and unique "documentary". The genre of the film grafted with absurd comedy in a pseudo-documentary style is very watchable...

Fans and friends can learn more about the event in time by paying attention to WeChat public accounts such as "China Film Museum", "Capital Star Art Cinema Alliance" and "Hugoeast", and can purchase tickets online on The Cat's Eye, Taobao Ticket and Big Eye Ticketing Platform during the screening.
