Paris-based mk2 films has acquired world sales rights for Bulgarian directorial duo Mina Mileva and Vesela Kazakova\u2019s new film\u00a0Women Do Cry<\/a>\u00a0exploring Bulgaria\u2019s complicated relationship with issues of gender and gender-based violence and featuring\u00a0Borat 2\u00a0co-star Maria Bakalova in the cast.<\/p>\n

The drama revolves around a family of women united by a shared trauma who confront the family patriarch\u2019s troubling past, against the backdrop of anti-gender and anti-equality protests in Bulgaria.<\/p>\n

It is Mileva and Kazakova\u2019s second fiction feature after well-travelled UK-set festival hit\u00a0Cat In The Wall\u00a0and a trio of hard-hitting documentaries looking at social and political developments in Bulgaria, which have led to them being dubbed the \u201cdemonic duo\u201d by one senior politician at home.<\/p>\n

The new film was inspired by the events surrounding Bulgaria\u2019s 2018 decision to not ratify the international Istanbul Convention\u00a0aimed at preventing violence against women and domestic violence, following a misinterpretation of the text which sparked a backlash against women\u2019s rights and organisations.<\/p>\n

Rising Golden Globe-nominated\u00a0Borat 2\u00a0co-star Maria Bakalova features in the ensemble female-led cast alongside Ralitsa Stoyanova, Katia Kazakova, Bilyana Kazakova, Vesela Kazakova and popular veteran acting star Iossif Surchadzhiev.<\/p>\n

Mileva and Kazakova also co-produce under the banner of their Sofia-based activist 38 with Cristophe Bruncher at Paris-based Ici et L\u00e0 Productions. It is supported by\u00a0Bulgarian National Film Centre,\u00a0ARTE France Cinema and Eurimages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to be working with Mina Mileva and Vesela Kazakova, with their punk spirit and wicked sense of humour, Women Do Cry is going to reveal the contradictions and absurdity of contemporary Bulgaria,\u201d said mk2 films head of acquisitions Olivier Barbier.<\/p>\n

The feature is currently in post-production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
