MADE IN EU, the latest film by Bulgarian cult director Stephan Komandarew, hits German cinemas on February 19.
The film screened in the “Cottbus Masters” section at FFC 2025. Known for his sharp social portraits, Komandarew tells the story of a textile worker in rural Bulgaria who, during the Covid pandemic, is pushed to the margins of society as the alleged “Patient Zero” – caught between global exploitation and local social Darwinism. A perspective from Europe’s periphery on its internal colonization.
Distributed by jip-Filmverleih, the film premieres on World Day of Social Justice.
