DVD FOOTAGE OF WAFT LIVE
The location for shooting video was picked very not accidentally. Ancient open air museum of Rumshishkes was a perfect place to film the singers of sutartines in their natural historical background. The visuals depict some of the most simple and common village practices in their ghostly appearance.
