POLISH PROJECT AT SOFIA MEETINGS
"LOVE LAND", directed by Viktoria Marinov, produced by Entertain Pictures, is the only project from Poland to participate in the Sofia Meetings co-production meetings that had just recently started. This full-length hybrid project is being developed with the support of the Polish Film Institute.

Projects in the sections: Second Film Projects, Plus Minus One Projects, Projects in Bank and First Films First will take part in pitchings and individual meetings during the event lasting several days (July 3-8), which takes place online due to the pandemic.
The protagonist of "LOVE LAND" is Viktoria, a Pole with Bulgarian roots, who sets off on a journey through the Balkans to understand the magnetism that attracts people to the province of Bulgaria and to which she herself succumbs.
