Мелодия за (кози) рог и (балкански) оркестър
Melody for (Goat) Horn and (Balkan) Orchestra

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the South Slavic reception of two Bulgarian films made before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall, respectively. We are referring to the emblematic film for Bulgarian cinema “The Goat’s Horn” by the director Metodi Andonov (1972) and the quasi-documentary “Whose is this song?” by the director Adela Peeva (2003). Through a survey among Slovenian students, it is understood what the thinking is about the Bulgarian identity, stereotypes (negative and positive), the male-female worldview. Is the integration of the Balkan peoples possible, although not – what prevents us from getting to know each other better and more closely? What is causing the peninsula’s existential crises?
