Návšteva

I was in charge of the original music and sound design. “Návšteva” is an auteur film by Stanislav Piatrik and Mária Piatriková about the journey of Pope Francis in Slovakia and the exploration of the phenomenon of visits. It seeks to reflect the current state of Christianity and wants to contribute to greater openness. It names the challenges for an authentic and at the same time more harmonious coexistence of different cultures in society. Made with the financial support of the Government of the Slovak Republic and the media collection of the Bishops’ Conference of Slovakia.
