Lynx

Best Short Documentary Stefan Voyvodov Bulgaria, Documentary, Bulgarian, 00:11:33

Since the middle of the 19th century in Bulgaria, the lynx has been accused of being a wrong and unnecessary animal, as a result, it has been subjected to targeted extermination. Prejudice and ignorance build a false mystique around this secretive forest animal. However, there is a fragile, valuable, and critically endangered population of lynx in Bulgaria, and the task of this unprecedented film is to make a cinematic portrait of this animal. A conservation appeal through the power of art or a black documentary chronicle of another irreparable act against nature?
