The documentary “Three candles: scars from the Balkan wars” directed by Diana Zaharieva, so-screenplay writer with Gospodin Nedelchev, has won the prize Best Interpretation in the special competition program Independence of the Sose International Film Festival in Yerevan, Armenia. The film recounts the story of a Bulgarian soldier, a hero from the Balkan wars. The mysterious story represents a point of view to what caused the first and the second Balkan wars, the latter better known in history as Interallied. The film shot in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia and Greece is about events which create and continue to fuel tensions in the Balkans in the course of close to a century. It shows little known but horrifying facts about the Balkan tragedy of the time.
