Bernard and his story on Bajer Farm

Описание: This short documentary video explores a 150-year-old Venetian sawmill in rural Slovenia and the traditional craft of lumber milling. Meet Bernard Mlakar, who operates a historic 150 years old sawmill on Bajer Farm in Viševek (Slovenia) keeping alive a rare example of traditional European woodworking heritage.
I spent an afternoon with Bernard to learn how to run a historic sawmill and to better understand traditional lumber milling techniques. This visit is part of my own journey restoring a historic sawmill, and this film documents the knowledge and skill required to operate a 19th-century Venetian saw.

This film captures the authentic sounds of wood milling and mechanical rhythm — combined with classical music to create a fully immersive experience.
