The production story

The programme uses the Greek communities of Bulgaria to explore the Black Sea’s changing cultural landscape. The distributor frames its story from classical antiquity through Byzantine heritage and the upheavals of later centuries.

ARTE lists a 2021 production year but does not identify a producer in the reviewed record. This is a cultural-continuity entry spanning several periods; it does not assign every subject or surviving practice to classical Greece.

Known filming locations

Bulgaria and the Black Sea coast are programme settings. The catalogue does not establish a complete shoot itinerary.
