The Festival band is something Sofia Film Fest can't breathe
without. Ever since the days of the first two Rock Film Fests the band
has been part of the events we hold, represented by at least Kita and
Pesheto. In 1993 and 1994 we had remarkable concerts with Radio Tangra
in the Summer theater. Since 1997 the so-called Festival band performs
at the closing of each festival edition. The band is internationally
famous due to the participation of the other two Stefans apart from
Kitanov - Stephane Laudin (Warsaw film festival director) and Stefan
Uhrik (Prague film festival). The two main members of the band are Kita
and Pesheto. Through the years we’ve had also Vassil Giurov, Kiki (Kiril
Stoyankov), Angel Kasparyanov, Dimitar Argirov, Nuffry, Dakata,
Lyubaka, Valdi, Kiril Marichkov, Stefan Valdobrev, Vasko the Patch,
Sancho Finzi, Dieter Kosslick and, of course, the festival director
Ivaylo Kraychovski-Pifa perform.
