THE PEASANTS is the latest film from the creators of LOVING VINCENT and the Oscar-winning studio BreakThru Films. It is the result of four years of work carried out by over 100 painters who crafted tens of thousands of unique painted film frames. If a single person were to attempt this, it would take 100 years. The music score for "The Peasants" was created by the award-winning composer Łukasz L.U.C. Rostkowski, with nearly 100 musicians from Slavic countries, offering an innovative mix of folk, trance, classical, and film music. This project stands as a unique compendium of the most interesting Slavic folk music phenomena, featuring artists such as Maria Pomianowska, Laboratorium Pieśni, Sutari, Dagadana, Tęgie Chłopy, among others. All of this is part of the international Rebel Babel Film Orchestra conducted by L.U.C. The Unlimited Orchestra of Orchestras has already connected over 11,000 musicians from 20 countries. THE PEASANTS and its musical score are the Polish candidates for the Oscars 2024.

The musical maestro behind the film, Łukasz L.U.C. Rostkowski, is the recipient of numerous cultural accolades, including Paszport Polityki, Fryderyk, Orły, Mateusze Trójki, O!Lśnienia Onetu, MocArty RMF Classic, and platinum status. For this international endeavor, Rostkowski has gathered a diverse ensemble of the most intriguing folk music creators, forming the Rebel Babel Film Orchestra, delivering a comprehensive anthology of ancient Slavic melodies.

With:

• Łukasz L.U.C. Rostkowski (composer and conductor)
• Hugh Welchman (director)
