Please note the change of time to 5:45pm (from the previously advertised 6pm).

Expect powerful films that present the birth of river goddesses, a deep dive into personal relationships with river systems, an exploration of healing grief with water, and more. Recommended for all lovers of water, rivers, river beings, and the health of the element that keeps this whole ecosystem healthy! 

Book your ticket for this event

Some of the filmmakers will be in attendance to talk about their process and their responses to the brief, with a Q&A and introduction facilitated by Rivers of Film curator James Murray-White. You are invited to arrive in advance of the screening to enjoy Pembroke College’s part of the Living Water exhibition. A pay bar will be available for this event. 

As part of the exhibition, Living Water: Poetry, Art and the Fight for Clean Rivers, we are screening 10 short films commissioned for the Rivers of Film festival in 2025 across two events. Half of the 10 films are shown at Part One at Cambridge University Library (28 May) and the other half at Part Two at Pembroke College (25 June). A ticket for both events is required if you wish to enjoy all 10 films.
