Maria Makedonska’s short films + guest Dj
Less words.
This is the common theme of the films, with which Maria Makedonska decided to present herself in Plovdiv.
The making of short films has always been a challenge but, on the other hand, such movies are cinematic works associated with the idea of alterative cinema. Stretch of the imagination can be set free from pre-written scenario standards. In this type of production the most important element is the ability of the director to create significant relationship with the audience, because even the simplest frame can emphasize individual feelings. I remember a picture of Samuel Beckett sitting in the corner of an empty room. Beckett watches vigilantly and cautiously, as if he is on the look-out – very impressive and sheer concept. This perspective you can also see in the work of the young director.
But who is Maria Makedonska and why on Friday evening invites us to use less words, you can find out if you come to the short movie event.

Encaustic Exhibition
Encaustics or the art of painting with wax - Dima Ivanova will present unique painted cards. The exhibition can be seen by the end of the month.
Lovers of fine arts will be able to enjoy a Christmas exposition with cards painted with one of the most ancient and interesting art techniques - the Encaustic. Each of the cards is absolutely unique and can’t be repeated, making it an outstanding gift for the upcoming holidays. Due to the complexity of the technique, the artists who create the Encaustics are few.
The technique is particularly difficult because the paint is constantly warming, at the same time it has to be painted extremely quickly, as Encaustics doesn’t imply corrections like retouching - the first painting layer remains the last one. In the past, there were mystic elements of the Encaustic, such as dancing girls to the moonlight around the vessel where the wax melts, adding herbs, and so on. From an aesthetic point of view, the main advantage of this technique is the transparency of the color through which the base (of light) permeates. Technological advantage of the images is that they can be damaged only at high temperature.
