Slunovrat (2001)

When the Hradišťan ensemble created the program O slunovratu (About the Solstice) in the music and dance world years ago, it was clear after the premiere that it would be a hit with listeners and viewers. This fictional journey through the year, with its feelings and moods rooted in local folklore, is easy to understand thanks to the Moravian folk lyrics and poems of Jan Skácel and the music of the experienced Jiří Pavlica. For the television visual form, authors Petr Hajn, Petr Vejslík, and Milan Popelka chose an hour-long mosaic of images for each song, combining visualization with a music video approach. The program was filmed over almost two years in various locations in Moravia and in all seasons. Viewers will also find hits such as Modlitba za vodu (Prayer for Water), Masopust (Carnival), Dušičkové rozjímání (All Souls' Day Contemplation) and Sonet o lásce a modrém portugalu (Sonnet about Love and Blue Portugal).
