Secrets of the Carpathians: Life in the Clouds
Like on Noah’s Ark voyaging through the time, the chamois and other arctic like inhabitants have lived in the Tatras for more than ten thousand years. Man is here, in this alpine environment, of rare sight and snow has the mountains in grip for six-month time. As a result, the Tatras are a unique island of wilderness. “Life in Clouds” is full of contradictions, and fragile baby chamoises look lost in this harsh environment.

Fanzine
Fanzine
Fanzine - a word that originated in the forties of the last century, means a combination of the words fan - lover and magazine - magazine. From the very beginning until today, these are amateur publications that deal with less popular, often even obscure topics. Fanzines experienced their heyday with the emergence of punk culture, but although fans of underground music were the most active creators of this form of expression, fanzines often deal with socially engaged topics, art, sports and so on. When mainstream culture does not provide enough information, or when it does not allow you to express your ideas, attitudes and interests in a way that is close to you, you can take matters into your own hands and publish everything you want in a fanzine, of which you are the creator, publisher and distributor.
