Summary/Abstract: The book by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Andronika Martonova is another contribution to the study of cinematography in Bulgaria. Author of numerous articles in the most popular Bulgarian media, the author presents a complete text of 200 pages, in which she masterfully traces the thread of otherness and alienation in the new Bulgarian cinema. The book is part of the project “Post-totalitarian Bulgarian cinema - models and identities” and manages to outline the contours of a bridge in the transition in Bulgarian cinema between the two eras. Cinema before the changes also had its hits in describing otherness, as most of the films are described accurately in the introduction. The book traces the search for a new Bulgarian identity as a theme for the new Bulgarian cinema.
