Cigarettes & Songs

About This Movie

Cigarettes & Songs is this charming little documentary that dives into the weekly gatherings of musicians and singers in Veľký Slavkov. Filmed in 2009, it captures the essence of a community coming together in a local Lutheran church, all while they lay down tracks for the album afterPhurikane. The vibe is relaxed, with a blend of humor and absurdity that surfaces naturally throughout the sessions. The pacing feels organic, almost like you’re there, sharing a smoke and a laugh with them. It’s really about the human connection to music and how these moments breathe life into the songs. It's raw, unrefined, and there's something deeply authentic about it all. Definitely a unique slice of music culture.
