Culture — where Bulgaria's state film money goes

Between 2014 and 2025, the National Film Center awarded €94.9M in state subsidy across 944 film projects to 262 producers. This page shows who gets the money, for what kind of film, and how it moved over time — from the НФЦ public register.

What you'll find

  • Subsidy by discipline — how the money splits between feature, documentary and animation film.
  • Subsidy by year — how much state financing was awarded each year, including the dip during the blocked sessions.
  • Concentration — which producers win most; the top 10 hold 26% of all subsidy. Most-funded: „Литъл Уинг Пръдакшънс” ЕООД.
  • Largest subsidies — the individual projects with the most state financing.
  • Culture as a public buyer — the public procurement of the Ministry of Culture and the state cultural institutes, separate from the subsidies.

Funds are awarded via the НФЦ artistic commissions, outside the Public Procurement Act. See also the Ministry of Culture's procurement and the state budget.
