We invite you to the presentation of the documentary film HRAMI, which will take place on Thursday, 14. in May 2026 at 19. uri.
The evening will be dedicated to Bistrican Mark Gorisko, who participated in the film as one of the witnesses, and showed the team the Japod cave.
The film temples: the sacredness of the karst underground reveals the deep connection of man with caves, rituals and symbolism, which over time is intertwined with the karst landscape.
The Film was produced from 2020 until the end of 2025.
They researched and created Tomo Godnic (screenwriter and cameraman), Tomi Spacapan (sound technician), Irena Godnic (cover word) and Boris Chok (narrator).
Temple is the ancient word for sanctuary. It is said to have originated in Sanskrit as an ashram; in India, it is a traditional spiritual refuge, monastery or retreat center where individuals live, study and practice yoga and meditation under the guidance of a spiritual teacher or guru. When collecting folk traditions, we found out that there were quite easily accessible caves and cliffs in the Karst, which the Old Believers used for sacred ritual places. They were called temples. For this reason, our team decided in 2021 to make a documentary that would introduce this little-known topic to the general public. The film shows ritual caves from the Snow Mountain all the way to the source of the kot Temava River in Shtivan. The main thread that connects the caves is the River The River, which has also created them over hundreds of thousands of years. Due to the complexity of filming in the field, this project was created for as long as four years and now it is finally possible to watch it.
Vabimo vas na predstavitev dokumentarnega filma HRAMI, ki bo v četrtek, 14. maja 2026 ob 19. uri.
Večer bo posvečen Bistričanu Marku Gorišku, ki je v filmu sodeloval kot eden od pričevalcev, ekipi pa je pokazal Japodsko jamo.
Film Hrami: svetost kraškega podzemlja razkriva globoko povezanost človeka z jamami, rituali in simboliko, ki se skozi čas prepleta s kraško pokrajino.
Film je nastajal od leta 2020 pa vse do konca leta 2025.
Raziskovali in ustvarjali so Tomo Godnič (scenarist in snemalec), Tomi Špacapan (tonski tehnik), Irena Godnič (spremna beseda) in Boris Čok (pripovedovalec).
Hram je prastara beseda za svetišče. Izvirala naj bi iz sanskrta kot ashram; v Indiji je to tradicionalno duhovno zatočišče, samostan ali center za umik, kjer posamezniki živijo, študirajo in prakticirajo jogo in meditacijo pod vodstvom duhovnega učitelja ali guruja. Pri zbiranju ljudskega izročila smo ugotovili, da je bilo na Krasu precej lahko dostopnih jam in pečin, ki so jih staroverci koristili za sveta obredna mesta. Imenovali so jih hrami. Iz tega razloga se je naša ekipa odločila leta 2021, da posnamemo dokumentarni film, ki bi širši javnosti predstavil to premalo poznano tematiko. V filmu so prikazane obredne jame od Snežniškega pogorja pa vse do izvira reke Reke kot Temave v Štivanu. Glavna nit, ki povezuje jame je prav reka Reka, ki jih je skozi sto tisoče let tudi ustvarila. Zaradi zahtevnosti snemanja na terenu je ta projekt nastajal kar štiri leta in si ga je sedaj končno možno ogledati.
