Oscars: Bulgaria Submits TIFF Selection ‘Triumph’ Starring Maria Bakalova For International Film Race


Triumph, starring and produced by Maria Bakalova, will be Bulgaria‘s International Film submission for the 2025 Academy Awards.

Triumph, starring and produced by Maria Bakalova, 2021 Oscar acting nominee for Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, will be Bulgaria‘s International Film submission for the 2025 Academy Awards. It marks Bakalova’s return to Bulgarian cinema and the first film she did in her native country following her breakout role in Borat 2, which launched her Hollywood career. The military satire is inspired by well-known, wild real-life events from the 1990s when, in the chaotic aftermath of the fall of communism, a task force comprised of high-ranking Bulgarian army officers and psychics embarked on a top-secret military operation in the small village of Tsarichina to dig up an elusive alien artifact that would change the course of history and make Bulgaria great again.
