Music Don't Cost a Dime
Music Don't Cost a Dime
Many musicians have their music freely available online. There is hardly a Slovenian band which hasn't given a free concert. On the other hand, production is on the rise, both in terms of music and events, although it seems that it is beginning to lack audience. How to come to terms with this "gratis culture", who foots the bill, what are the pros and cons of this – these are some of the questions the documentary film attempts to answer through interviews with more than twenty Slovenian players on the scene – from venues, labels, the media, journalists, to musicians. How to put a price on music?

An emotionally moved Karel Gott, five angelic girls, and one overly involved father, thanks to whom the behind-the-scenes pre-Christmas atmosphere melts away just as rapidly as the fat should disappear from the belly. “A singer can’t be a lard bucket!”

Saving Otter 501
Saving Otter 501
From PBS and NATURE - On a typical late summer day a baby sea otter washes up on the beach in Monterey, California - hungry, lost, injured. It's a tragic event, but not surprising. California sea otters are struggling. For decades marine biologist Karl Mayer and his small staff have worked unceasingly - one otter at a time - to bring this "keystone" species back from the brink of extinction so it can play its important role in the local marine environment. But the effort has stalled, and no one knows why. This is the story of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's 501st attempt to save an orphan otter. From her discovery as a stranded newborn pup crying on the beach through her rehabilitation in secret roof tanks atop the Aquarium, we follow as Otter 501 learns how to dive, hunt, eat, and fend for herself in the wild, where survival is a long shot at best.
