RIVER, an exploration of the timeless relationship between human civilization and Earth's rivers. Spanning six continents, this visual and musical tour-de-force is by turns celebratory, cautionary, and ultimately hopeful that we are beginning to understand rivers in all their complexity and fragility. Narrated by Oscar Nominee Willem Dafoe. With music by the Australian Chamber Orchestra and Radiohead

'THE LAND SPEAKS,' a short Documentary film, focuses on friends Pairrebeene/Trawlwoolway artist Lisa Kennedy and Environmentalist/Educator Bryan Watterson as they unpack their feelings of personal, environmental, creative, cultural, and familial connection evoked from their property in Toora, South Gippsland which they have been listening to and returning to a state of biodiversity for the past 20 years. 
Once desolate, the Land now thrives with 66,000 trees, an Indigenous-led Community Sculpture Circle, and the return of wildlife to the area. Bryan and Lisa, once considered unconventional for their environmental focus in a traditional farming community, are seen as inspirations. 
At its core, it is a personal story of two people of incredible grit who sold their house to buy a block of land and then listened to it deeply. It is about the cruciality of connection in its various forms, and its power to positively affect people and thus the planet.
