The producer of Dzift, the best Bulgarian movie for 2008, Matey Konstantinov, received the special award for best foreign film from the film fest in Salerno, Italy.
The award was handed to Konstantinov by Bulgaria's Culture Minister, Vezhdi Rashidov.
The producer said this is the 6th international award bestowed to the movie, but expressed regrets that not much has been said in Bulgaria about its success, and Dzift with a record 40 000 viewers had not been included in the top 10 most watched pictures.
The movie, directed by Yavor Gardev, tells the story of a man who was sentenced for a murder he did not commit, and was released facing the harsh reality in Sofia in the 1960s. It received the Best Director award and the award of the Russian movie clubs at the Moscow festival. Dzift was also awarded as the best Bulgarian movie for 2008.
