As the battle rages, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey) attempts to rally support in Sparta for her husband. The story is framed by a voice-over narrative by the Spartan soldier Dilios (David Wenham). Through this narrative technique, various fantastical creatures are introduced, placing 300 within the genre of historical fantasy. - DirectorPhilip SavilleStarsHenry Ian CusickDaniel KashChristopher PlummerThe story of Jesus' life as told by the apostle John, narrated by Christopher Plummer.The Gospel of John is a 2003 film that is the story of Jesus' life as recounted by the Gospel of John.

Hannibal explores the man behind the myth, revealing what drove the 26-year-old to mastermind one of the most audacious military moves in history. With 40,000 soldiers and 37 elephants, he marched 1,500 miles to challenge his enemies on their own soil. It was an act so daring that few people believed it possible. Hannibal combines drama, the latest historical research and state-of-the-art CGI to bring this spectacular story to life.

- DirectorGueorgui StoyanovStarsRousy ChanevMarin YanevNaum ShopovThe action takes place back in the 9th century - a time of trouble and constant changes. The central dramatic character is that of Constantine the Philosopher -a thinker, a diplomat and a man of letters. He becomes aware of the seeds of destruction in the flourishing Byzantine civilization and senses the future role of Slav Dom. Long before the advance of the Renaissance he becomes convinced about essential equality of people, irrespective of their language and nationality. However, the vine of philosophy is often laced with the poison of politics. Cunning statesmen think of Constantine simply as a weapon in their hands, but they are soon to realize that they have been tragically deceived. The philosopher and humanist towers high above their immediate practical goals. His literary work gets out of the control of politicians. The alphabet intended as a weapon against the young nation proves to be its strength. Together with his brother Methodius, Constantine created the Slav alphabet, which precipitated the development of Slav culture. The film is happy combination of impressive set pieces and artistic taste as it recreates this historical period.
- DirectorYuriy ArnaudovDako DakovskiStarsVasil StoychevBogomil SimeonovSpas Dzhonev1197. King Kaloyan ascends the throne in hard times for Bulgaria.

- DirectorVladislav IkonomovStarsVassil MihajlovLyuben ChatalovGeorgi Georgiev-GetzLegendary Bulgarian Khan Krum was a ruler in the beginning of the ninth century. In this period, Bulgaria ranked third in Europe in terms of territory and military power. It is Khan Krum who contributed to the union of Bulgarians and Slavs. He enforces unseen to that day laws against calumniators, thieves, violators. It stirs discontent among his closest men. The ruler is smart and just, but isn't he too severe? At what cost can one ensure order and progress in a state?
- DirectorBorislav SharalievStarsRadko DishlievAntony GenovStoyan StoevThe film is based on Zahari Stoyanov's "Notes On Bulgarian Uprisings", a classic late-19th-century memoir. The narrative revolves round the preparation, the ups and downs, and the crushing of Bulgarian uprising against the Ottoman domination, which broke in April 1876. An event of great significance for the awakening of the national consciousness of the Bulgarian people, it attracted and held the attention of the European public. People across the continent were shocked by the bloody outrages of the oppressors. The film manages to present a sweeping picture of the complex and contradictory nature of the events it deals with. Revolutionary fervor, self-sacrifice and breath-taking heroism had to fight against crushing odds: the immense numerical superiority of the enemy, as well as certain instance of cowardice, dastardliness and even infamous treason. The film examines the personal experience of the leaders of the uprising, its heroes and martyrs (very successfully impersonated by a cast of young actors) against a background of fearsome upheavals and in the face of moments of greatness and downfalls, triumphs and defeats.

The protagonist is rank-and-file Macedonian who is unwittingly swept by the events. Later, it was his conscious choice. He was a witness of changes, crucial for the nation. He comes across legendary personalities. He gets enchanted and disappointed. He is seeking for the right answers, rethinks what he saw and experienced to tell his story in his simple, but candid and wise words of his own.
- DirectorVili TzankovStarsApostol KaramitevKosta TsonevIvan KondovThe film takes us back into the times of the Second Bulgarian Kingdom - 13th century. The Bulgarian Emperor - Tsar Ioan Assen - is trying through several marriages to enlarge the State and to support the peace in it.
