The cinema of Slovakia encompasses a range of themes and styles typical of European cinema. Yet there are a certain number of recurring themes that are visible in the majority of the important works. These include rural settings, folk traditions, and carnival. Even in the field of experimental film-making, there is frequently a celebration of nature and tradition, as for example in Dušan Hanák's '' Pictures of the Old World'' (''Obrazy starého sveta'', 1972). The same applies to blockbusters like Juraj Jakubisko's ''A Thousand-Year Old Bee'' (''Tisícročná včela,'' 1983).
