Production

As well a screenwriter and director, Kamen Kalev co-produced the movie along with Stefan Pirjov through their partnership production company Waterfront Film. Other film production houses that co-produced the movies were 'Chimney Pot', the Swedish 'Film i Väst' and 'Art Eternal' (Bulgaria).

A large part of the cast of Eastern Plays were non-professionals, including debutant male lead Hristo Hristov who plays himself in the film and who died from a drug overdose towards the end of filming. Hristov's actual apartment is shown in the film, as are his drawings and the woodcarving workshop he works at.

'Eastern Plays' was mostly filmed in the Bulgarian capital Sofia, with a few scenes in Istanbul, Turkey's largest city. Post-production for the film was done on a laptop computer due to the very restricted budget.

The soundtrack of Eastern Plays contains two song by the avant-garde musical band Nasekomix, as well as original music composed by Jean-Paul Wall.

The world première of 'Eastern plays' happened during the 2009 Cannes Film Festival on 17 May 2009 at Théâtre Croisette. The film had its theatrical première on 6 October 2009 in Burgas, followed by première events in Sofia on 16 October 2009 and Paris in 2010. It was the first Bulgarian feature film to be selected for the Cannes Film Festival official selection since 1990.
