2nd year of the event Festival of Light and shadow took place in Banská Bystrica and followed a positive feedback from the first year in 2015. In 2016 festival presented architectural and historical contexts from another perspective.

The team of organizers was actively contributing to a development of art and its perception by the general public due to connecting historical specifics and city legends with modern creative technology such as light, laser, projection or experimental music. The goal of the festival is to spread the idea of connecting art forms such as painting, dancing, singing, sport and others with digital media, technology and light.
