In collaboration with GRÜNE LIGA, GETIDOS and other partners, we would like to invite you to the second River Film Festival Berlin. Between January 22 and 24, the event takes place in the Moviemento Cinema in the Kreuzberg district. Additional elements of the Wild & Scenic festival program will be various river movies from Germany, Europe and other parts of the world. We take you on a journey to wild streams, isolated places, endangered animals and people who fight for the preservation of these precious habitats.

There the "Wild and Scenic Rivers" are under strict protection due to their wildlife species inventory, their scenic attractiveness and their importance for human recreation.
