Welcome to a small European town of the 19th century. "Sketches of Old Town" is a short musical film inspired by the charm, humor and everyday life of a bygone era. Meet a cheerful flower girl, a kind policeman, a restless newspaper boy and many other townspeople whose little stories unfold to the rhythm of music.

I'd like to share one of my favorite short music films, "The Clown." The film was selected for Lift-Off Sessions and remains one of the most personal visual pieces I've created. It combines original instrumental music with a simple story told through atmosphere, character, and emotion rather than dialogue. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on whether the story comes across clearly without words.

A brother and sister take a shortcut through a mysterious forest and discover a world filled with wonder, beauty, and unexpected surprises.
