Lightdox has acquired world sales rights to “The Big Boom!,” the latest documentary from Swiss filmmaker Gabriel Tejedor, ahead of its world premiere in IDFA’s Frontlight program.

The film explores the contradictions of a Bulgarian town pulled into Europe’s shifting geopolitical order, where arms production for Ukraine’s frontlines collides with enduring ties to Russia, personal convictions, and the everyday need to survive.
