Bulgislavia does not have a big film industry and its dominated by Censorship and party propaganda but a few films are quite good. This is a complete list of Bulgislavian films ever made. As time goes by more films will be added

Early Days
The Bulgislavian film industry was virtually non existent during this phase and as a young nation trying to find its bearing and dominated by bad government a lot of films from this time were imported from abroad

Was an up beat musical film set in the slums of Terevesti in the 1930's where the down trodden tennents rise up and overthrow a harsh land lord

It was about a young Bulgislavian male on a scholorship to study at a Moscow University and then falling in love with a Russian girl taking the same course. Censors eventually allowed the film to be shown in Bulgislavian cinnema after a year of being banned

The Walls Have Ears (1969)
This film came up against the state censors from the very beginning as the title implied at the secret polices activities at the time.

Released on the 40th anniversary of communist rule it detailed the "Heroic struggle" of the Bulgislavian people to break free of the Axis occupation and co-operating fascist government in Bulgislavia.

The film ends optimistically with the Red Army liberating the camp and Dinu and his comrades are freed


Present Day's
As Bulgislavia entered the new mellenium still under stalinism and the famine ended and economic recovery began at a snails pace and film industry began to revive with a few films.
...........................................................................................

The Healing (2002)
This was a film about a gifted nurse who had the ability to heal patients with her mind by touching their wounds. The first Bulgislavian film to deal with a "supernatural" element and so was not funded by the government and critised by state media

Was based on a true story of Anna Patrescanu who was a bloodthirsty countess of a small Bulgislavian region during the 1500's.

The Activists (2007)
The film based on true events of the student Anti Nuclear demonstrations of the early 60's. it was about a group of Terevesti university students who band together and staged a number of anti-nuclear weapons demonstrations calling for nuclear disarmarment in the 1960's. Due to its nature it was heavily censored and made sure to paint the party in a glorious light

Life Outside (2009)
Bulgislavia's newest film was set in Romania. About 2 Bulgislavian women who leave thier nation to see life outside of Bulgislavia but are kidnapped by the Russian mafia and forced into the sex industry and trafficked around eastern europe. It was the first time Bulgislavian film crews were premitted to leave the country since "Nina and Violetta" in 1983 to make this film. It painted the outside world in a terrible light and had a negative ending with the Bulgislavian women committing suicide together to escape the nightmarish world they ran into with a message to Bulgislavian's to stay in Bulgislavia least they suffer the same fate
