Anti-coronavirus measures have postponed the 24th edition of the Sofia International Film Festival and the 17th edition of the Sofia Meetings. Sofia Film Festival is one of the biggest cultural events in Bulgaria. Co-organizers are the Ministry of Culture, Sofia Municipality, National Film Center, EU Creative Europe Program and others.

We rely on the understanding and support. The 24th Sofia International Film Festival and the Sofia Meetings are to take place later on the scale they were initially planned, organizers said.

"Night of the Ensembles 4" scheduled for March 11 is also being put off. The folklore concert with the participation of the biggest Bulgarian ensembles "Philip Kutev", "Thrace" and "Pirin" will be held again in the National Palace of Culture on May 14.
