A unique cinematic and musical collaboration featuring music from the Australian Chamber Orchestra and narrated by Willem Dafoe, award-winning filmmaker Jennifer Peedom’s (Mountain, Sherpa) RIVER is a profound, cinematic and musical experience.
Throughout history, rivers have shaped our landscapes and our journeys; flowed through our cultures and dreams. RIVER takes its audience on a breathtaking journey through space and time; spanning six continents and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, including satellite filming, the film shows rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before. Its 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 recognising their vulnerability.
The film will be screening In select cinemas from Thursday March 24.
