As I mentioned many times on my blog, I filmed one of the scenes of my music video in one of the biggest film studios in Europe known as Nu Boyana Film Studios. That is why I thought it would be a good idea to tell you more about the studio itself.
NuBoyana Film Studios is located in Sofia, Bulgaria. It is positioned on the top of the mountain Vitosha. The studio is successor of the former Boyana Studios, established in 1962 as the main film and television production facility in the country until the early 1990's. During the years of communism (1945-1989), the Studios produces nearly 600 feature films and production peaked at around 25 features annually in the 1980. Hit by financial difficulties in the 1990s, an inventive policy of “services-rendering” was the lifeline of Boyana Studios for nearly a decade. The Bulgarian film industry is largely relied on co-productions (where the country participates as a secondary co-producing partner) and runaway productions (big budget productions exclusively using Western creative input that only hire local facilities, technicians, and locations) to keep the studio going. During the 1990s services were rendered to a dozen major productions, which included Bernardo Bertolucci’s “Little Buddha” (1993), Emir Kusturitza’s “Underground” (1995), Reji Vernie’s “East-West” ( 1998) , Vercingétorix” (1999), Michael Cacoyannis’s screen adaptation of Chekhov’s The Cherry Orchard (1999) and others. In 2007, Boyana Film Studios are privatized by the famous independent companies " Milenium Films" and "Nu Image". That is when “Nu Boyana Film” was created.
Over the years NuBoyana Film Studios serviced hundreds of feature films, including big-budget movies like Criminal, The Expendables 1, 2 and 3, London Has Fallen, 300: The The Rise Of An Empire, The Black Dahlia, Killing Season, Conan, The Way Back and Kon-Tiki.
