Summary/Abstract: The content of the article The activity of the Scottish cinematographer John Mackenzie in Bulgaria in 1905 fully corresponds to the theme of the issue Crossing and/or Blowing Up the Borders as it follows both the filming activity of a foreigner in our country, carried out in the period of the early cinema (poorly studied until recently), and the distribution of his footage around the world – the United Kingdom, Western Europe, Australia... Mackenzie himself crossed many bordersduring his life, as described in his book Rambles in Many Lands (1910), to eventually become an American citizen and live in the United States.
