The River

A film by director Dominique Marchais

On the eve of World Water Day, the Foundation is organizing an exceptional screening of Dominique Marchais’ new film, “The River,” in the presence of the director. A poetic film about the rural world, an ode to water and nature which recently received the Jean Vigo Prize. The screening will be followed by a discussion between the director and designer Olivier Peyricot. Between the Pyrenees and the Atlantic flow powerful rivers known as the gaves. Cornfields make them thirsty, dams block salmon migration. Human activity disrupts the water cycle and the river’s biodiversity. Men and women cast their curious and loving gaze towards this fascinating world of beauty and disaster.
