Summary/Abstract: In general, the paper focuses on the potential of film music to transmit and preserve the typical features and character of national musical traditions in their authentic and stylized form. Specifically, the text introduces the musical peculiarities of selected cultures and nations, which we encounter in mainstream audiovisual works in the form of location links. The use of archival (non-original) music in some film genres is also viewed marginally. The aim of the paper is to point out the basic procedures used in film music to express the local or historical character of the narrative, musical traditions of the displayed countries and cultures, as well as the possibilities of their popularization and use in music education.
