About the event

Come along to Trefriw village hall for an evening of film as we explore the freshwater connections in the Conwy river catchment area. Written by Robert Macfarlane featuring music by Jonny Greenwood and Radiohead with narration by Willem Dafoe.

"Humans have long loved rivers. But as we have learned to harness their power, have we also forgotten to revere them?"

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.

This event is brought to you by Gofod Glas Conwy. Subsidised with funding from Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
