Monthly Archives: December 2022

Well, it’s the end of the (calendar) year, and that usually means it is time for evaluation and contemplation. Ours goes like this: For us, the year 2022 was marked by the Slovenian Sava. The first half of the year was devoted, almost entirely, to the post-production of our feature documentary, One for the River: The Sava Story, while the second half was dedicated to traveling with the film, as it took its journey among the people. To date, the film has been seen live in Slovenia by more than 6,000 people at 46 screenings/events. Internationally, it has been screened at 20 festivals in 14 countries and won a total […]

Leto 2022 je bilo za nas v znamenju slovenske Save. Prvo polovico leta smo skoraj v celoti namenili postprodukciji celovečernega filma Ena za reko: Zgodba Save, drugo pa posvetili njegovi poti med ljudi. Do danes si je film v Sloveniji v živo ogledalo že več kot 6.000 ljudi na 46 projekcijah/dogodkih, dodatno pa je gostoval že na 20 festivalih v 14 državah in skupno osvojil 7 festivalskih nagrad. Za povrh smo ob premieri filma izdali tudi naš knjižni prvenec: Sava v Sloveniji – kajakaški vodnik, Da bo mera polna je bil konec marca premierno predvajan tudi dokumentatni film BBCja Earth’s Great Rivers: The Danube, h kateremu smo prispevali s 13 […]

In just 24 hours, 88 donors and companies from four countries donated sums between 5 and 500 EUR, totaling 3,362 EUR. Together with EUR 3,000, which we managed to collect even before the start of yesterday’s ‘crowdfunding’ from our emergency fund and help from the Free Rivers Fund and Packraft Europe, the total collected represents the amount of EUR 6,362. We need a total of EUR 5,500 for the translation of the study, which means that you/we managed to collect as much as EUR 862 more than expected. So we have an important question for the last of those who contributed: DO WE RETURN EXCESS COLLECTED FUNDS TO YOU OR […]

V samo 24 urah je 88 donatorjev in podjetij iz štirih držav doniralo vsote med 5 in 500 EUR v skupni vrednosti 3.362 EUR. Skupaj s 3.000 EUR, ki smo jih še pred pričetkom včerajšnjega ‘crowdfundinga’ uspeli zbrati iz našega urgentnega sklada ter pomoči iz strani Free Rivers Fund in Packraft Europe zbrana vsota predstavlja znesek 6.362 EUR. Za prevod študije skupno potrebujemo 5.500 EUR, kar pomeni, da ste/smo uspeli zbrati kar 862 EUR več od pričakovanega. Za zadnje med tistimi, ki ste prispevali, imamo torej pomembno vprašanje: ALI VAM VIŠEK ZBRANIH SREDSTEV VRNEMO, ALI GA OBDRŽIMO V URGENTNEM SKLADU BALKAN RIVER DEFNENCE? Sredstva iz urgentnega sklada smo v preteklosti […]

Sodni proces o HE Mokrice, pri katerem je Društvo za preučevanje rib Slovenije stranka v postopku, je prišel do točke, ko mora zagovornik reke predložiti dokaze o tem, da HE Mokrice in ostale načrtovane hidroelektrarne na Savi niso smiselne in potrebne niti v energetskem niti ekonomskem […]

Our friends, the dedicated and relentless river defenders of Romania, haven’t had a moment of rest and last week they were delivered bad news that overrides the celebration about saving the Basca Mare. WANT TO HELP STOP THIS LUNACY? SCROLL DOWN TO TAKE ACTION! Romania’s government recently announced plans to use funds allocated under the REPowerEU package – a plan to rapidly reduce dependence on Russian fossil fuels and “fast forward the green transition” – to build 9 hydropower projects in protected natural areas. This is what ‘green energy’ looks like on the ground. While the people in suits sit in Brussels passing laws and sign energy strategies… the corrupt […]
