We received with great joy the news that at the Byzanfest, an Orthodox film festival celebrating film art, the jubilee film about the Bigorski Monastery, “1000 Years Witness of the Light“, has been nominated in three categories: Best Documentary Film, Best Cinematographer, and Best Director.
This marks the first time in Macedonian cinematography that an independent film project achieves such international acclaim. It’s noteworthy that the director of this documentary, Ilija Iko Karov, is nominated for one of the main awards, “Best Director,” alongside directors from the feature film program.
According to the Byzanfest 2022 schedule, which will run from October 27 to November 6 in Melbourne, Australia, the screening of “1000 Years Witness to the Light” is scheduled for November 4th.
