Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is discussing the points of interaction between Bulgarian media and non-formal culture in the 1980s. Given the complexity of the phenomenon, the tension is explained rather briefly, with some bright examples on non-formal culture incentives during that period. First, time frames are set and working definitions on the key terms are provided, i.e. non-formal culture and media. Following are the concrete examples on how media and non-formal culture interact over the period. More specifically, the selected examples are: the case of „Committee to Save Ruse“, a „public secret“ and an example for a semi-dialogue between media and non-formal culture; the installation of Nedko Solakov called „Looking at the West“ that exemplifies outstanding censorship or „dialogue made impossible“ and the „We from Kravai“ movie as an example for „dialogue made possible“. The text is a small part of my doctoral dissertation with a title: „Non-formal culture and the Bulgarian radio during the 1980s“.
