The first half  of the film aims to explore the experience of being perceived by peers, and the world at large.

I Am The Night (Bulgaria) by Iliya Stoyanov

"I Am the Night" is a visual poetic reflection on the actor’s presence in the moments when the performance ends and the masks are finally removed. The film delves into the fragile truth that remains when the lights fade and no one is watching. The Night is the quiet observer gathering the remnants of human emotion: those edited, rehearsed, and hidden fragments we call reality. Within the bar’s atmosphere, noir aesthetics merge with a poetic rhythm, where smoke, glass, and textures replace dialogue. Sound and light become the primary language, telling a story not just of the performers, but of the spaces between them - of what leaks through the cracks when the spotlights go out.
