THEME : All is in the stars - OUT OF COMPETITION CONCEPTOR : Jaroslav Stolba Stars traditionally symbolize the past and the future. We look for answers in them, we tell them wishes whose fulfillment is uncertain, dependent on chance, predetermined by fate, written and hidden in the stars… In the first part, the musical background is based on the work of the Norwegian composer Thomas Jacob Bergersen, the founder of the company Two Steps from the Hell, a prominent bearer of the Epic Music genre. The slightly cosmic sound from the musical remixes of the American TV science fiction series “Stranger Things”, set in the 1980s, will bring well-known hits, but in a modern and mysterious arrangement. Even songs from the action movies “Guardians of the Galaxy”, about superheroes and a bunch of space castaways, or a remix of “Heathens” by Twenty One Pilots will not break the theme of the show “All is in the Stars” … MUSIC : *Our Destiny – Thomas Bergersen *Heart of Courage – Thomas Bergersen *Two Hearts – Thomas Bergersen *Running Up the Hill – Kate Bush *We Care a Lot – Faith No More *Journey – Separate Ways – Brice Miller, remix *Heathens – Twenty One Pilots *I am Always Chasing Rainbows – Alice Cooper FIRM : FLASH BARRANDOV SPECIAL EFFECT - (SCzech Republic) The largest special effects company in the Czech Republic, FLASH BARRANDOV Special Effects Ltd., is located in the legendary Barrandov film studios.
