20 SONGS OF THE FESTIVAL BAND

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.
