Film Festival – How Creativity affects Change
As the first day of the River Summit draws to a close, the evening opens into something different. The Rivers of Film Festival comes to Henley Town Hall, bringing rivers, aquatic ecosystems and their guardians to the screen.
James Murray-White is an artist and filmmaker whose work has taken him from his native Cambridgeshire chalk streams to curating the Rivers of Film Festival, which ran over two weeks across Cambridge city and county last autumn through the charity Cambridge Past Present and Future. As part of the festival, James commissioned ten short films exploring local rivers and waterways and the human connection with them.
This year those films have been touring venues across the UK and James is delighted to be bringing some of them to Henley this September as well as other critical pieces of media such as Dirty Business and In our Blood.
The screening will be followed by a cast and crew Q&A offering a rare chance to hear directly from the filmmakers, protagonists, journalists and actors about the stories behind the stories. We hope you will want to stay.
