Film I am the River, the River Is Me und Kunst im Fokus! Tatort Film!? entstanden im Rahmen des Kulturrucksack

In the organizer's words:

As part of the exhibition along the Pader River Tatort Paderborn 2025 Der Fluss bin ich (28.6.-5.10.2025), the Pollux Cinema is showing the film I Am the River - The River is Me.

The Whanganui in New Zealand is the first river in the world to be recognized as a legal entity. This inspires the exhibition title The River is Me and asks What if the Pader had rights?

As a prelude, Pollux presents a short film in which six young people from the Kulturrucksack state project conduct interviews with artists and the curators.

Moderation: Marijke Lukowicz and Sophia Trollmann.

Cooperation event with the crime scene Paderborn "Der Fluss bin ich". Content: The river guardian Ned Tapa takes the documentary filmmaker Petr Lom on a journey on the Whanganui River in Aotearoa, New Zealand, which is a sacred, life-giving place for the Māori and was the first river in the world to be recognized as a legal entity. The film is in the original version (English/Māori) with German subtitles.

Maori river guardian Ned Tapa takes the filmmakers, international water advocates and activists on a canoe trip down the Whanganui River in Aotearoa, New Zealand. The 320-kilometre-long river is the first in the world to be recognized as a legal entity. For over 150 years, the M?ori have fought passionately to protect their sacred lifeline. Along this spiritual waterway, travelers share stories of resilience, destruction and healing. Through the spirit of the river as companion and narrator, the film reflects on indigenous wisdom, the interconnectedness of all life and the global movement for the rights of nature. A call to rethink our value systems towards nature and community - for the benefit of all future life on earth. (Source: Distributor)
