In The Shelter Of Time

George Gospodinov Georgiev

Georgi Gospodinov was born in the emblematic year of 1968. This birthmark of change accompanies him in many important moments of his life and, of course, is present in his works... The biographical film about the first Bulgarian winner of the Booker International Literary Prize takes us into his personal space, where among books, notes and memories he meets himself. Georgi Gospodinov goes back to his first words - heard, read and written, which predetermined his path as a writer. For him, childhood, memory, what didn't happen, the past are constant sources of themes and inspiration.

The video for the story is part of the "BNT Presents" series of the Bulgarian National Television.
