If 2014 was the year of Leviathan – the brooding, black comic epic that won best film in London and prompted controversy in Russia and beyond – then 2015’s BFI London film festival sees other new east nations come to the fore.
Kosovo is represented for the first time (in Visar Morina’s Babai), and rising Bulgarian star Svetla Tsotsorkova will screen her debut feature Thirst. Elsewhere, Romanian crime dramas jostle for space with Polish black comedy and magical camels from Russia’s remote Kalmyk region.
