As to the subject of our present film project - New Generation Forever is a poem of resistance by underground poet, song writer and bass player Dimitar Voev, written in the last decade of totalitarian socialism in Bulgaria.
It lent its name to Voev's major musical project – New Generation, which was founded in 1987, to quickly become the epitome of Bulgarian post-punk dark wave and acquire the status of a legend following the abrupt death of its front man of a brain tumor in 1992.
One of the band’s songs by the same name has turned into a kind of anthem for the loose anti-authoritarian community inspired by Voev’s sophisticated sense of revolt, powerful lyrics, non-conformist music and personal charisma. In fact, New Generation has become the signifier for the community itself, which survived the loss of its pivotal figure and the disintegrating forces of post-totalitarian disillusionment, never ceasing to uphold its common libertarian values and to find ways to pay tribute to Dimitar Voev beyond the grasp of mainstream culture. 

A few English quotes from the original poem, whose messages and 4-part structure are mirrored by our film:

My name is Project.

The one thing I know.

I have  two dioptres of shortsightedness.

I’d like to talk to saints.

“Set it all right!” – the shriek

Of a little old man on a skateboard.

A moment later he’s gone.

Yet another one follows.

“Speak the truth in this

Last conversation!” –

The text on a poster in front of

The Institute of Youth Formation.

“I spit on it!”

“I spit on my mother!”

“I spit on myself,

On my wheelchair life!”

For I am Nobody –

My lot in the lottery”,

A nobody said and melted away.


Loneliness!

Such a round loaf.

Tasty, yet dangerous.

Intoxicant. Loneliness!

“Don’t disqualify me!”

“Don’t disqualify me!”

“Mummy, I beg you, forgive me!”

I’m not the only one.

We’re all together in this.

Everybody, join your hands!

Oh, Lord! Save us, Lord!

I’ve waited for so long.

For 5 or 6 centuries now.

I’m coming with the rest of you.

Join hands together, everyone!

Kneeling down, standing up, crying,

Walking on, genuine, flying,

Let’s all together become

Within the temple of culture

A colossal, titanic One.

Hand-in-hand, holding on tight

Let us start howling out loud

Just like a pack of hyenas

Who will forever remain

Forever, forever

And ever

With our bellies sunken.

Lord, can you possibly hear us?

Eyes – blooded, aching with pain.

Doomed to have no compensation.

Puking on hope in disdain.


What We Need & What You Get


  • We need 5000 euro in order to rent the technical equipment for the picture that will convey our idea and message in the best possible way, in the shooting style of Andrey Tarkovsky. 

    What the amount would cover in particular includes the following:

    • camera ALEXA + lenses + tripod
    • a pantograph
    • a dolly
    • complex lights to convey the sophisticated metaphoric vision of Voev’s poetry.


    Please, be aware that we need just 5000 euro because almost all members of the film crew are willing to work for free and a lot of people have offered us discount prices for their equipment and services, in support of the film project. ( Of course we need money for other important things for the movie but we already have it because of the help of people who believed in us and who want that movie to be done. And now we need that amount for the most important things and the most expensive one.)

    We will be very grateful if you would help us achieve the targeted amount! 
  • Here are a few special perks we offer you in return:

    • 5-10 euro – a mention in the credits.
    • 20-50 euro – a post card or picture from the set with Dimitar Voev's poem and signatures from band members.
    • 50-100 euro - poster with signatures from the band members. 
    • 100 - 250 euro – a DVD with the movie, including the making off and other surprises, following the film festivals at which New Generation Forever will be initially presented.
    • 250-500 euro - a day on the movie set and a  ticket for the premiere night (non-Bulgarians are welcome if they would cover their travel costs themselves).
    • 500 - 1000 euro - guest in full shooting period and ticket for the premiere night (non-Bulgarians are welcome if they would cover their travel costs themselves).
    • 1000 euro and more - co-producer.

    If we don't reach our goal of 5000 euro, we'll keep the collected part for the movie and try to add up to it by means of other (crowd)funding options. We will make effort to precisely inform our contributors about any progress on our Facebook page.
