Iako je u pogledu broja snimljenih filmova daleko iza Bollywooda i Hollywooda, bugarski kinematografi dobili su tokom proteklih godina veliki broj nagrada na različitim međunarodnim filmskim festivalima, pokazavši time da se mogu takmičiti sa najboljima u ovoj branši.
In terms of output, it is well behind Bollywood and Hollywood, but the Bulgarian cinematographers received scores of awards at various international film festivals in the past few years -- showing they can compete with the best in the trade.
