We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the Austrian Embassy Sofia for the support provided to this year's edition of the OKO International Ethnographic Film Festival in Sofia.

Thanks to your assistance, two talented directors, Lennart Miketta and Lennart Hüper, were able to personally present their film, an ethnographic exploration titled “Schützenfest” ("The Big Day"). This is a crucial contribution to the cultural dialogue we strive to foster between Ukraine, Bulgaria, and Austria.

In these difficult times, we realize how meaningful your contribution is. Thanks to the Austrian Embassy in Sofia for support, our festival has become a platform for common understanding and intercultural communication.

Thanks for believing in our mission and helping us to implement the project that builds bridges between countries and peoples. We look forward to continuing our work and creating new opportunities for the development of Austrian films on our platform.
