Slovak composer and musician Jonatán Pastirčák, aka Pjoni (b. 1993), was nominated for two Czech Lions in 2023, for his scores on Arved and Nightsiren, taking home the prize for the former. He also composed the score for the film adaptation of Jáchym Topol’s prize-winning novel A Sensitive Person, which competed in the Karlovy Vary IFF that same year. The hard-working composer has also been involved in a host of other projects of various genres appearing at leading festivals, including the miniseries Suspicion, the sci-fi drama Ordinary Failures, and the documentary The Visitors.
