Kukeri/surva
CONCEPT
Untitled new film, described as a folkloric horror thriller will look to present an authentic representation of the beliefs and practices of the Kukeri. An enigmatic Bulgarian tradition known as “Surva” that has united small villages across the country once a year for centuries — a festival that has residents known as “Kukeri” dress up in otherworldly costumes, dancing away evil spirits. The animalistic costumes, covering most of the body, are often made from the fur and skins of goats or sheep, and can also include toothed wooden masks — sometimes, peppered with horns, and sometimes, double-faced — with large bells attached to the belt.
