Irish Film Institute -RIVER

RIVER

Director: Jennifer Peedom

75 mins, Australia, 2021, Digital


Narrated by Willem Dafoe, and featuring music from Radiohead and Jonny Greenwood, this profound film takes its audience on a journey through space and time; spanning six continents, and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, including satellite filming, River 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.
