After the premiere, “The River” goes to the International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film

On 3 October at 1 p.m. Forum Cinemas ( Vilnius ) will launch the premiere of The River, a documentary film directed by Rimantas Gruodis and Julija Gruodienė (Auditorium 12). The 30-minutes-long film was produced by its director’s studio Periferija.

The film tells about life in a remote village along a river. The river is the only road connecting people to the external world. It is a road for the main characters of the film – the children who cross the river every morning to travel to their school.

The River has been invited to participate in one of the most famous cinema forums, the 52^nd International Leipzig Festival for Documentary and Animated Film, which will take place from October 26 to November 1. On 1 – 7 November the film will participate in the international competition programme of the Florence Film Festival.
