More About the Author
I am a native of Bulgaria and now live in one of the most beautiful parts of golf country Scotland, in the East Neuk of the Kingdom of Fife. I teach Film Studies at the University of St. Andrews, and previously lived in England, the USA and Canada. I have also traveled extensively to many other places, and am interested in international non-Hollywood film. Most of my books currently listed on Amazon are related to Eastern European and Balkan cinema, yet my forthcoming work is mostly on international distribution and film festivals. Check out my blog www.DinaView.com for current interests.
