The Mosquito Problem & Other Stories wins the prestigious GRIERSON AWARD

The epic story of a village turned concentration camp, turned a city, turned nuclear power plant and it’s population, swamped between regimes, fried fish, ideologies, mass murder, pop-folk music, guilt, redemption, hope and mosquitoes…

Silver Wolf winning director Andrey Paunov (“Georgi & the Butterflies” 2004) yet again gives us a unique insight to the New Eastern Europe in a quirky humorous tale. 25 years into building Bulgaria’s second nuclear power plant, which – if actually finished – promises to be an economic boon, the sleepy, mosquito-plagued village of Belene is haunted by its dark past.

52 / 100 minutes, dir. Andrey Paounov, AGITPROP. Release 2007
