THE MOST FUCKING STORY IN THE WORLD / НАЙ-ШИБАНАТА ИСТОРИЯ НА СВЕТА June 2004 / 5 mins 40 secs / Colour / Betacam SP		National Academy for Theatre & Film Arts Sofia, Bulgaria
THE MOST FUCKING STORY IN THE WORLD explains why I can’t write stories anymore. Because our little beloved Bulgaria doesn’t care about culture, all it needs is listening to vulgar “chalga” music and waging its stupid war in Iraq. Because rabbles of thievish illiterate people with power destroy and ravage the country for the sake of their own well being, and force us to live in poverty. BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN LIVING FOR 15 YEARS PUTTING UP WITH IT. Will this ever end?

This documentary film is showing the links between two very different cultures - far East - Japan and the Balkans - Bulgaria.
