This is my first video. Until January 2011, just four mounts ago, I never thought that I will be interesting in making film or video. I am an artist exploring printmaking media, but my subject of work is the dance and I have decided to try live art. The aim of this video is to show the folklore of my native country Bulgaria. Special thanks to the dancer and musicians!
