They actually made the first ethnographic documentaries.
It was natural that the Festival Ilinden Days, which has risen to international level, to include in its rich program a festival of ethnographic films. Then the creation of new customs and beliefs.

Our wish is that MALDITO reaches as many people as possible, with a growing presence and repercussion in the [...]
