What present did you give your honey for St Valentine? Something in the range of the usual stuff I suppose. But there were some, who sought unconventional gifts for their beloved and found them. They just dedicated to their beloved 5-minute love comedies, created by them.

Professional and non-professional filmmakers gathered on February 13 to hear the topic of the new short films competition, dedicated to Love. The competition went under the name "Love is everything" and was the second such initiative. The organizers were Pin Pin Videos.

Participants were given a 24-hours time line to shoot a short movie, in which they had to represent love as they see it. Human relations, sex and everything they considered related to love the way they felt it. In this really short span of time the moviemakers were challenged to get an inspiration and an idea, to shoot their material, to assemble it and to record the music for it.

The only condition to take part in it was to have your own camera and to gather your buddies to help you and eventually to play the leading role of some enamoured fool.

The movies were presented in front of 600 people, who came to see them from professional interest or just for fun in Sofia's Home of the Cinema. The winners' works will be broadcasted on TV and some of the other movies will be issued on DVD.

And now the winners, whom the jury selected from 43 newly created movies:

The awards of the public went to H20 and their movie "Remote Love", to No sleep No food Productions for their "Come diceva Majovski" and to Vagabonds' "Laura".

The award for best movie music went to Children of Love for the movie "With or without milk?" and to UFOtv Kontrabanda's "Friendly love".

The jury's special awards were given to Vagabonds' "Laura", No Sleep No Food Productions' "Come diceva Majovski", Voodoo Team's "No Headline" and Zaeka's (The Rabbit) "Love is like".
