Twelve musicians and 21 filmmakers from around the world have created a music video аbout the slow down of life during the pandemic. The Bulgarian director Andrey Hadzhivasilev participates with aerial shots of Sofia. 

The project called "Pause" shows the rhythm of life in 18 iconic cities on 5 continents. 
The Bulgarian capital shines with the domes of the St. Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, the deserted Independence Square and the statue of Sofia. 
One of the best qualities of people is to support each other and to be together, albeit physically distant, regardless of nationality, religion and ethnicity, says Andrey Hadzhivasilev about his participation.
The video can be watched at https://youtu.be/-LksC6WcVVU
