In partnership with Green Drinks Kigali and within the framework of Science Film Festival 2018 we are going to have a special screening of the short film “The Water Dancers” here at Goethe-Institut Kigali.

After the screening there will also be a conversation with the filmmaker via Skype. Come and join us for our event!

See below the film synopsis of “The Water Dancers”:

Directed by: Robyn Palmer; produced by: Daniel Ndevu.
25 minutes; narrated in English.

The documentary, produced by a South African filmmaking team, is about groundbreaking methods of conservation in South Africa, told through dragonflies. Dragonflies are the sentinels of the Earth. Being among the oldest creatures on our planet, they have lived in harmony with the indigenous plants and animals of Earth’s bountiful landscapes for 300 million years. We came, we conquered and we envicted them from their habitats. Now, after millenia of human recklessness, we are turning back to nature’s messenger, the dragonfly, for a new way forward in conservation. South Africa’s scientists and industries are working to bring these sensitive creatures back into our world through a creative system of connected corridors, known as ecological Networks. “The Water Dancers”, a name from the Zulu “Jigamanzi”, “dancing on water”, invites you into the precious world of the small things to discover how their sensitive nature can help us design a passage into the future.
