This was an amazing experience in @IFI_Dub tonight. Some of the most stunning cinematography I’ve ever seen. Soak it in on the big screen. #riverfilm https://t.co/9MTAsDJtgU

Just stunning @Dogwoof @RobGMacfarlane , so profound & beautiful & Rob has such a way of physicalising the spiritual, so calming. Marthy (age7) gave it 9/10 & I heard 3x ‘WOW’ moments & 1x little snivel 😢 at 1 part. Go see this if you can. #riverfilm #rivertrust https://t.co/9S2HGhzKbj

At a screening of #RiverFilm at Oxford's Phoenix tonight. Great Q&A. The challenges of making rivers characters in a story written for humans— and of inviting viewers into the experience of deep time and deep space. @Dogwoof @RobGMacfarlane

Wonderful to finally see this film in Edinburgh tonight. "To think like a river is to think downstream into the future". @RobGMacfarlane @jenpeedom @Dogwoof @JnnyG @radiohead @didgefusion https://t.co/sxpwSMPvpt

Throughout history, rivers have shaped our landscapes and our journeys; flowed through our cultures and dreams. River takes 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 on scales and from perspectives never seen before. Its union of image, music and sparse, poetic script will create a film that is both dream-like and powerful, honouring the wildness of rivers but also recognises their vulnerability.
