The Union of Bulgarian Film Makers contributes to the development of the film art and the audiovision in Bulgaria from 1934. The Union of Bulgarian Film Makers is an active party and a partner in the process of creation and forming of all concepts, legislations, models and decisions which correspond to and affect the problems of Bulgarian audiovisual culture.
UBFM has its own representatives in the National Film Council at the National Film Centre as well as in all the national commissions that choose the best film projects for state support, that decide the amount of that support and that define the category of all the films distributed in the country.
The Union is a member of the international organizations - FERA, FIPRESCI, ASIFA, CIFEJ, UNI-MEI/EURO-ME/.
The Union of Bulgarian Film Makers defends the interests of Bulgarian cinema and audiovision. UBFM represents its members to organizations, associations and enterprises which have direct relations to the production, dissemination and exposing of audiovisual production
The Union of Bulgarian Film Makers cooperates for development, protection and promotion of Bulgarian cinema by creating in 2010 the BULGARIAN FILM ACADEMY uniting with other organizations of film producers, screen writers, cameramen, and sound directors for the annual awards for film art which were established as a cultural tradition by UBFM in 1975.
UBFM stands for development of the film theory and film history; for aesthetic education of the cinemagoers and for applying of high art criteria by its own (from 1946) publication - magazine "KINO" (6 issues per year), by its Internet site - http://www.filmmakersbg.org/ubfm-eng.htm , as well as by subserving the promotion of European cinema in its House of Cinema; by organizing public discussions on different topics, by participating with its own awards at national and international film festivals in Bulgaria.
The Union supports the health protection and relaxation of its members. It supports own recreation bases and clubs.
The Union’s supreme body is the General Assembly. The General Assembly defines the main tasks, directions and the program for development of the Union. It accepts, alters and supplements the Union’s statute. The General assembly elects directly the UBFM's President and the Union’s Managing Committee as well as the Union's Control Committee.
UBFM has about 850 members. The members of The Union are organized in Sub-unions on professional basis. Within the Union of Bulgarian Film Makers there are 10 Sub-unions of: film directors, cameramen, dramatists, actors, artists, film critics, animators, composers and sound-directors, film editors, specialists in law, film-management and technical staff.
