Balgarianovinite.com The final public screenings of the feature film Eastern Western, directed by Bulgarian-born sisters Marina Grozdanova and Biliana Grozdanova, will take place in April in the United States, Biliana Grozdanova told BTA. The film will be screened as part of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Film Festival in Los Angeles on April 19 and also in New York on April 23.
The film’s plot follows Igor – an immigrant and widower – who, together with his son, embarks on a dangerous journey to California with the help of American horse breeder Duncan. Along the way, the characters face harsh trials and a fateful choice that will forever change their future.
The film has been screened at international festivals, including the Sofia Film Fest, and other US cities.
Marina Grozdanova and Biliana Grozdanova share a common journey as immigrants and filmmakers working in the United States. Over the past 25 years, they have lived, studied, and worked in several countries. They left Bulgaria with their family in the early 1990s, living in Australia and Canada before settling in the US in 2000.
They began their creative careers in documentary filmmaking, focusing on stories related to music. Their first feature-length documentary, The Last Kamikazis of Heavy Metal, traces the journey of their friend Igor Galijasevic and explores the immigrant experience through the lens of heavy metal culture. The sisters’ latest and most successful project is Eastern Western – a hybrid feature-length western inspired by themes of immigration, identity, and border landscapes. In an interview with BTA, the sisters also discussed their next project, New Dawn Rising, a neo‑western shot in Montana (Northwestern Bulgaria). “Eastern Western” by Bulgarian-born Biliana & Marina Grozdanova to Screen in LA, New York 2026 THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2026-04-08 06:08:52 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
