The film production complex was opened in 1962 and was state owned until 2005 when it was bought by one of the longest-running independent film companies in Hollywood, Nu Image and Millennium Films. With an approximate area of 30 hectares (75 acres), the complex features 10 sound stages and various standing sets – New York, London, Middle Eastern street, St Paul's Cathedral and a big ancient set, complete with a Roman colosseum.[1]

Boyana Film was the main location for film production during the communist regime when Bulgarian cinema was at its peak.

Ukrainian Refugees

Nu Boyana Studios started a program to help refugees fleeing the war in Ukraine. They sent vehicles to pick up refugees crossing the Ukraine border to Moldova, and transported them to Bulgaria.[2] Nu Boyana CEO Yariv Lerner said he put a call out that said, "To all those in need in the film industry, and if you're looking for work, we welcome you here."[3]
