Dimitar Petrov

Died in 2018

Born in 1924 in the village of Rila, he took a six-month course at the Paisii Film studio in 1947, then trained in directing at the film academy in Prague. He made a first short film in 1955 and was a director at the feature film studio from 1959 to 1990. From 1963, most of his work went to children, in cinema as well as on television, and for this reason his country calls him the father of its cinema for young people. He died in October 2018, at the age of ninety-three.
