Uncle Tony, Three Fools and the Secret Service

"Uncle Tony, Three Fools and the Secret Service" is a documentary that delves into the hidden truth behind a celebrated animation studio in communist Bulgaria. The film reveals how the studio's leading light, Donyo Donev, wasn't the creative genius he was believed to be, but rather his assistant, "Uncle Tony" Antoni Trayanov, was the true mastermind behind the studio's success. The documentary also explores how senior figures at the studio, including Donev, were involved with the Bulgarian secret police, shedding light on the corruption and state control that permeated the communist era. With a record-setting theatrical run in Sofia and numerous international awards, this impassioned documentary is a must-see for anyone interested in creative collaboration, credit-taking, and the darker side of artistic success.
