We are proud to announce that the latest episode of our annual short film… featuring fishing, paddling, comedy and conservation…has won the Best Fishing Film award at Paddling Film Festival. It will be touring the world with it in 2025 and hopefully bring the topic of river conservation and having responsible fun in the outdoors to the right viewers.
Since the publication of our guidebook Soča from Source to Sea – Paddling Guidebook at the end of December last year, six well-attended book launch events have taken place. We presented the new book in Bovec, Tolmin, Ljubljana (twice) and Kobarid. Two more events in Italy are to follow; on March 6, we will present the book in Goriza, and on March 11, in Udine. At these events the author of the book (Rok Rozman) and photographer (Rožle Bregar) answer questions from the organizers, which presents a great opportunity to discuss the state of the Soča River and how decision-makers at the local and national levels are treating it. Since […]
Dalla pubblicazione del libro Soča dalla sorgente al mare – una guida al canottaggio, avvenuta alla fine di dicembre dell’anno scorso, si sono svolti 6 eventi di presentazione del libro molto partecipati. Abbiamo presentato la nuova pubblicazione a Bovec, Tolmin, Lubiana (due volte) e Kobarid. Seguiranno altri due eventi in Italia; Il 6 marzo presenteremo il libro a Gorizia e l’11 marzo a Udine. Gli eventi, in cui l’autore del libro Rok Rozman e il fotografo Rožle Bregar rispondono alle domande dei facilitatori, offrono un’ottima opportunità per discutere dello stato del fiume Isonzo e di come viene gestito dai decisori a livello locale e nazionale. Poiché il libro è molto […]
Od izdaje knjige Soča od izvira do morja – veslaški vodnik konec decembra lani se je zvrstilo že 6 dobro obiskanih dogodkov predstavitve knjige. Novo publikacijo smo tako predstavili v Bovcu, Tolminu, Ljubljani (kar dvakrat) in Kobaridu. Sledita pa še dva dogodka v Italiji; 6. marca bomo knjigo predstavili v Gorizi, 11. marca pa v Udinah. Dogodki, na katerih avtor knjige Rok Rozman in fotograf Rožle Bregar odgovarjata na vprašanja povezovalcev, ponujajo krasno priložnost za pogovore o tem, kakšno je stanje reke Soče in kako z njo ravnajo odločevalci na lokalni in državni ravni. Ker je knjiga precej več kot le veslaški vodnik in v bogatem uvodu ponuja tudi poglavja […]
The second episode of our annual series of short films on paddling and fishing, Rods, Rolls & Reality on the Soča, won the best short film of the 19th Festival Gorniškega Filma in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Festival Gorniškega Filma is a member of the elite group of IAMF festivals, which includes only 28 outdoor film festivals from around the world, and is the largest Slovenian outdoor film festival, so this award means a lot to us.

In 2019, The Undamaged received an […]

Festivala gorniškega filma.

Klika vladajočih energetikov si pripravlja uredbo, po kateri bo za doseganje tako imenovanih ‘podnebnih ciljev’ lahko naredila prav vse, kar ji pade na pamet oz. kar ji bo prineslo večji zaslužek. Ministrstvo za naravne vire in prostor, ki je v državi sicer zadolženo za ohranjanje narave, je pripravilo predlog Uredbe o določanju pogojev za izjeme glede okoljskih ciljev ob poseganju v vode. Tole vnaprejšnje umikanje vsakršnih ovir pri umeščanju novih hidroelektrarn je še en dokaz več, da je zeleni prehod zgolj in samo krinka za masten biznis. Če bo uredba sprejeta, bodo šli najprej v izgradnjo ‘Vizjakovih’ HE Mokrice, zatem se bo na tnalu znašla srednja Sava, sledila bo Mura, […]

The destruction of rivers on the sunny side of the Alps just for the sake of lucrative business and how we want to end this nonsense; the Sava River, becoming known to thousands of people; our first collaboration with amazing musicians and printing the first book about Soča from its source and the sea. At the end of the year, it’s time to take stock. Ours goes like this: We devoted most of our attention in 2024 to Slovenian rivers, because they have so many problems – dealing with them takes up time that we would otherwise have devoted to helping the beautiful rivers south of us. Since, among the […]
Uničevanje rek na sončni strani Alp zgolj zaradi dobrega biznisa oz. kako to norijo končati, Sava poznana tisočero ljudem, prvo sodelovanje z imenitnimi glasbeniki in prva knjiga o Soči med njenim izvirom in morjem. Ob koncu leta je čas za inventuro. Naša gre takole: Tudi v letu 2024 smo glavnino pozornosti namenjali slovenskim rekam, saj imajo te na grbi toliko težav, da nam soočanje z njimi vzame čas, ki smo ga sicer namenjali tudi pomoči prelepim rekam južneje od nas. Ker je razumevanje pomembnosti in predvsem delovanja rek med splošno javnostjo še vedno močno podhranjeno, smo veliko časa namenili izdelavi in distribuciji filmov ter vsebin, ki skušajo na vsem doumljiv […]
