Опозицията стари – млади и възгледът за личността в постмодерното българско кино
The opposition young generation – old generation and the notion of personality in the post-modern Bulgarian cinema

Summary/Abstract: This text is a short study of the opposition between different generations of film directors in Bulgarian cinema, considered as a biological and at the same time dramatic process of film evolution in the period after the Second World War. The emphasis is on the stopped films and the struggle of the coming new generations with the ideological dogmas of socialist realism. The focus is on the post-totalitarian and postmodern period with the emergence of the first free and opposition-minded "Independent Cinema Group", founded in 1991 by members of the so-called Bulgarian "new wave" in order to radically reform the production system and create the institution of the producer. By 2013, a new generation of filmmakers will join the informal Rocket Directors' Movement, whose members are proponents of uncompromising auteur cinema and low-budget films. The Raketa movement recently won recognition at the institutional level through the election of one of its emblematic figures as chairman of the Union of Bulgarian Filmmakers.
