MONKEYS IN WINTER
(MAIMUNI PREZ ZIMATA)
2006, Milena Andonova, Bulgaria, 111 min.
With Bonka Ilieva-Boni, Diana Dobreva
In this stunning, prize-winning debut by first-time director Andonova, three separate stories of women repeat themes of sex, longing, and love sidetracked with unforeseen consequences. A Gypsy woman falls into a lecher’s trap in trying to provide for her three children; a student misinterprets her boyfriend’s ardor; and an infertile wife is unprepared for her husband’s reaction to her surprise pregnancy. In Bulgarian with English subtitles. 35mm print courtesy of the Bulgarian National Film Center. (BS)

SEAMSTRESSES
(SHIVACHKI)
2007, Ludmil Todorov, Bulgaria, 96 min.
With Alexandra Surchadjieva, Elen Koleva, Violeta Markovska
A romance with imagined destinies brings three country girls with slight skills to the city. One gets a job in a club where the hostesses serve more than drinks, but her sisters in naiveté accept grueling work in a butcher shop. The lure of sex soon slices friendship to the bone and sets the once-inseparable friends on dangerously different paths. Winner of Best Feature in the Bulgarian National Film Awards. In Bulgarian with English subtitles. 35mm print courtesy of Crosspoint Production and the Bulgarian National Film Center. (BS)
