This year’s festival is held under the theme “Truth,” focusing on the ways cinema explores the boundaries between fact and fiction. According to the organizers, film provides a space in which truth can be revealed through diverse approaches, ranging from documentary storytelling to fictional narratives that may sometimes convey reality more effectively than factual accounts.

The documentary is shot by Orlin Ruevski and Alexander Stanishev, with music by Petar Dundakov. Editing is by Andreas Jonsson Hey and Tonislav Hristov, sound design by Sander Stenfelt Olsen, and color grading and graphics by Todor G. Todorov. The film had its world premiere at the 29th Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival in the Czech Republic.
Made in EU tells the story of a seamstress from a small town and her son. The protagonist, Iva, is accused of triggering a pandemic outbreak of Covid in her community and becomes a scapegoat for a system that has profited from her labor for years. The film was shot in Haskovo, Dimitrovgrad, Madan and Rudozem, and features a cast including Gergana Pletnyova, Todor Kotsev, Gerasim Georgiev–Gero, Ivaylo Hristov, Anastasia Ingilizova, Ivan Barnev, Ovanes Torosyan and Martina Peneva.
