River (2021) is a stunning exploration of human relationships to waterways and there is no better place to enjoy it than at Bath Quays beside the river Avon. There will also be a selection of short local films so you can learn more about your local rivers and how we can look after them.
About the film
River is an exploration of the timeless relationship between human civilization and Earth’s rivers. Spanning six continents, this visual and musical tour-de-force is by turns celebratory, cautionary, and ultimately hopeful that we are beginning to understand rivers in all their complexity and fragility. Narrated by Oscar Nominee Willem Dafoe. With music by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Radiohead.
