P&I - Director Bio
Petar Valchanov and Kristina Grozeva directed the documentary Parable of Life (2009) together, followed by the award-winning TV feature Forced Landing. Recently they wrote and directed the short film Jump, which received numerous prestigious awards, the Excellence Award for Best Picture at Busan International Short Film Festival 2013, among others. The Lesson (EIFF 2015) was the directors' feature-film debut, and Glory is the follow-up.
Glory (Slava)
Part of the European Perspectives Strand
When shambling, unassuming linesman Tzanko stumbles across a pile of money on the railway tracks, he immediately notifies the authorities, inadvertently becoming a pawn in a cynical government game. Julia, the PR executive for the Ministry of Transport, uses the reticent Tzanko as a political diversion and sets in motion a chain of events fuelled by bureaucratic indifference and avoidable consequences. Convincing, naturalistic and rooted in social realism, this is a robust human drama that packs an emotional punch.
