Programme: Recovery and Resilience Plan

The current project proposal outlines a targeted cultural intervention focused on the distribution of the Bulgarian family film "Bring Me Home" in the towns of Madan, Zlatograd, and Rudozem. This project is designed with a clear social mission, aiming to address regional imbalances in access to cultural products. The film, which explores themes such as family, human kindness, and overcoming isolation through the bond between a child and an adult, was chosen for its strong relevance to the social dynamics and challenges faced by communities in these remote mountain regions.
In the film, the main character, a boy from a home for parentless children, finds himself at the center of attention and discovers the true value of family and home. This narrative framework resonates strongly with the context of the target communities, which often face the issues of family breakdown and youth emigration. The project will leverage the film as a platform for dialogue on the importance of intergenerational connections and social cohesion.
A key component of the initiative is the adaptation of the film, which includes translation and subtitling into Turkish to ensure maximum accessibility and integration of the local population. Following each of the planned screenings, creative workshops will be organized, where audience members will have the opportunity for direct interaction with part of the film crew. These companion events are designed to stimulate an interactive reception of the cultural product, transforming the screening into an event for community building and creative exchange. All activities will take place during the winter period, when the need for such cultural events is greatest.
