Day and night non-stop screenings of all films selected for the 6th International Short Film Festival “In the Palace”, Balchik (June 23-29, 2008). Due to the great interest this year the festival offers a new way for films’ evaluation. During 48 hours on June 7 and 8 (Saturday and Sunday) the viewers from Sofia are able to participate in the nomination of the films by themselves. 10 foreign and 10 Bulgarian films are to be nominated (no matter the category – fiction, documentary or animation) and the voting takes place on-site filling a special form. Later the International Jury of the festival chooses among these films the best foreign film and the best Bulgarian film that shares the awards fund of Euro 10,000.
