Dokumentarni film Zgodba Save je prejemnik glavne nagrade 17. Festivala gorniškega filma! Po festivalski projekciji, ki se je zgodila v Linhartovi dvorani Cankarjevega doma v ponedeljek 13. februarja, sta režiser Rožle Bregar in idejni vodja ter scenarist filma Rok Rozman danes na podelitvi nagrad prejela kipec za Grand Prix. Iskrena hvala vsem, ki ste filmu najprej dali priložnost, zatem pa glasovali zanj in v njem videli potrebno za podelitev tako pomembnega priznanja. Naša želja, da bi zgodbo Save spoznalo čim več ljudi, še posebej Slovenk in Slovencev, se uresničuje na najlepši možni način. Če bo čez nekaj let tudi epilog za našo najdaljšo reko tako dober, bomo pa itak od […]

Z veseljem sporočamo, da je Upravno sodišče včeraj pravočasno (medtem so DPRS podaljšali rok za oddajo listin, na katere se sklicujejo, na 20.1.2023) prejelo s sodnim tolmačem uverjeni prevod magistrske naloge, kot dokazno gradivo zoper smiselnost gradnje HE Mokrice.

Part 3: Under the Sava So, did they find a monster? The crew was diving deep to the bottom of pools to try and spot one – to help change the fate of the Sava River. New dams mean no Huchen. But legally, Huchen mean no dams… Made possible by NRS, NRS Europe and Sava River. Filmed and edited by Rozle Bregar, script by Rok Rozman

Part 2: In the Sava The surprising reason that this crew of kayakers became rafters is…snorkelling. This unusual combination can uncover secrets, it can be a research method and it can help you save your home river, but only if your home river is still home to a finned monster. Is it? Stay tuned and see it for yourself in the upcoming Part 3. Made possible by NRS, NRS Europe and Sava River. Filmed and edited by Rozle Bregar.  

Part 1: On the Sava Same crew, same river, but different vessel and reason for the trip. Carmen Kuntz, Rok Rozman, Bor Mihelič and Branko Djoković decided to become rafters. Why? Well, let’s just say they had a solid reason. Stay tuned to learn more in the next part. Filmed and edited by Rožle Begar.  

Last summer, the kayakers from The Sava Story documentary Carmen Kuntz, Bor Mihelič, Branko Djoković and Rok Rozman returned to Slovenia’s Sava River and explored it in a very peculiar way. Our media team captured the action above and below the water, and over the next 3 Wednesdays we will share 3 short videos with you. Get ready for some serious laughs, scientific methods and campfire concerts. Where to see videos? – On our webpage – On NRS Facebook page – On Balkan River Defence Facebook page – On Leeway Collective Youtube channel

In the spring of 2015, our then young Leeway Collective crew headed to Greece and Albania to paddle the entire Aoos/Vjosa River – from the source high in the Pindus Mountains to the Adriatic Sea – in order to get to know this last big wild European River and share it with the rest of the world.  This was important as there were plans for more than 30 dams to be built on its catchment. We knew that if we wanted to stop these plans from becoming reality, we would need to join forces with many organisations and especially with a lot of individuals, so it made sense to make […]

Med 27. in 30. decembrom je v Bovcu potekal že 15. filmski festival BOFF. Naš film Zgodba Save je bil iz strani režije festivala izbran v tekmovalno kategorijo, kjer pa je po glasovanju publike postal najboljši domači film. Veseli nas, da ob vseh projekcijah in festivalskih predvajanjih Sava in grožnje njej postajajo vedno bolj znane. Naj teče še naprej. Hvala vsem za glasovanje in hvala organizatorjem za fajn dogodek in prima druženje!

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 […]
