Bulgaria was presented at the fourth edition of the European Film Festival in Pakistan with screenings of the films Omelette and The Trap by director Nadejda Koseva, the Embassy of Bulgaria in Pakistan said on its official page on the Foreign Ministry’s website.

The Bulgarian participation was organised with the support of the State Institute for Culture under the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The two productions were shown in the city of Karachi, Sindh Province.

According to the diplomatic mission, the screenings attracted strong interest from the local audience.

The Bulgarian Ambassador in Islamabad Irena Gancheva attended the festival, addressing the viewers and speaking about the importance of cinema as a space for encounters and a bridge between cultures.

“Special attention was given to the important themes and messages of the two Bulgarian films, namely that behind every social challenge stands a human story deserving empathy and understanding, and that our ethical, personal and societal choices shape the environment in which we live. This is why responsible attitudes and the courage to make the right decisions are of key significance,” the Embassy’s team noted.

The European Film Festival was organized by the EU Delegation to Pakistan with the support of the embassies of EU Member States.

The fourth edition took place between 7 and 23 November 2025 and covered the three major cities of Islamabad, Karachi and Lahore.
