Dzhovani Gospodinov

A documentary story about an ancient slavic, pagan tradition. In the mountains of south-west of Bulgaria, at the start of every year, the so-called "Kukeri" come together to chase away evil spirits.

In Meadows Wait, Mist Diffuses, Dzhovani Gospodinov captures the enigmatic energies of Hosbësch. Shot over a period of four years with motion sensor cameras and linked to Gospodinov's own fragmentary memories of the site's topography, the film poeticizes the gradual destruction of a landscape and questions the ethics of our intrusion into nature. It moves between voyeurism and introspection and is at the same time a portrait of - and an elegy to - Hosbësch.
