Dialogue-Free Surreal Social Drama-Western Debut on North American VOD Platforms and on DVD September 10, 2024
What happens when a dignified urban drifter explores and remaps the common roads of a sleeping city? In BO NAN ZA, a string of solitary figures grope their way through the sun-drenched wilderness. Misguided by hopes and driven by shadows, they silently fall into a creeping dependency. Some of these spectral characters coexist in a “nowadays” world of different limits. Embarking on a day and night quest through the desolate streets, they end up caught in a bizarre procession of personal rituals. Meanwhile, a dignified urban drifter explores and remaps the common roads of the sleeping city. The highs and lows of urban life might ultimately be transcended. A change of roles is about to come.
Written and directed by Andrey Getov, BO NAN ZA was produced by Andrey Getov, Delyan Kaloyanov, and Ivan Vatsov. The cast features Simona Filipova (‘Simona’), Stoyan Dimitrov (‘Stoyan’), Aleksandra Spasova (‘Aleksandra’), Biser Marinov (‘Biser’), and Tony Sulzata (‘Tony’).
“Based on a quietly subversive and dialogue-free script, BO NAN ZA unveils a subtly narrative picture with a rather offbeat cinematic rhythm,” muses director Andrey Getov. “It is inspired by the enigmatic poetics and allegorical traditions of westerns on the one hand, and by the empathic spirit of observational filmmaking on the other.”
Freestyle Digital Media negotiated the deal to acquire BO NAN ZA directly with the filmmakers and CinEye Pictures Ltd.
