One day, the cinema lights go out. The film begins. And the name appearing on screen could be yours.
Film Academy for Talents is opening nationwide casting for children, teenagers and adults who want to take their first real step towards the big screen.
Actor selection is beginning for the next film productions from Film Academy for Talents. Upcoming projects include the sequel to the major Bulgarian hit "One Gram of Life", part two, "One Gram of Love"; "Baba Vanga’s Last Prophecy"; new animated cinema productions; and more feature films.
Selection for the 2026/2027 production season starts now. Once the nationwide casting ends, applications will not reopen for these same productions.
All future participants in these productions, apart from invited well-known personalities, will be selected from the candidates who have completed this nationwide casting and training at the Film Academy for Talents.
You don’t need previous acting experience. You need the courage to show yourself, character, presence and a desire to be part of a real filmmaking process.
In cinema, the most memorable roles often go to the people with the strongest presence rather than the longest CV.
