River (U)

Writers: Robert Macfarlane, Jennifer Peedom & Joseph Nizeti 

Narrated by Willem Dafoe 

 

Taking its audience on a journey through space and time; spanning six continents, and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, including satellite filming, the film shows rivers from perspectives never seen before. The union of image, music and sparse, poetic script create a film that is both dream-like and powerful, honouring the wildness of rivers but also highlighting their vulnerability. 

 

‘…an impressive visual event for the big screen.’ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian 

 

To give local context to the film, River Waveney Trust Catchment Officer, Emily Winter will give a brief talk about our local river and how it mirrors the film’s global issues, how it relates to all of us locally, the projects they are working on to address these issues and how people can be involved or do something to help.
