Panel"Emi and Ani"
Sofia, March 11 2014

On March 11th, the short animation “Emi and Ani” focused on two serious problems of the marginalized communities – early school dropouts and early marriages and deliveries, was launched at the residency of the British Ambassador in Sofia.

The film was created with the active participation of the Roma communities in Sliven and Shumen.  The drawings were made by the young Roma artist Asen Hristov.  The source of inspiration for the drawings were the children and the families he worked with at the Shumen Family Consulting Centre’s Art workshop – part of UNICEF’s project “A Family for Every Child”. The characters in the film are voiced by Stefka and Fanny from the Roma neighborhood “Nadejda” in Sliven and the music is performed by the famous local Roma band “White swans”. Ventzislav Kirkov from BFPA is the Executive Producer. The initiative received active support from H.E. Jonathan Allen, UK Ambassador in Bulgaria, and the British organizations Comic Relief and The Tudor Trust.
