I Follow Rivers at DOK.fest Munich: A Documentary Evening Full of Power, Closeness, and Inner Tension

With I Follow Rivers, DOK.fest Munich 2026 brings an intense, emotional portrait to the screen. The Norwegian documentary by Barbora Hollan focuses on a world champion in kayaking who seeks her own rhythm amidst sporting ambition, family, and identity. The Projector in Gasteig HP8 creates an intimate setting that makes the images, voices, and subtle breaks in the film feel especially close.

Between River, Family, and Performance

The film tells the story of Mariann Sæther, who cannot be reduced to a single role. Sport, family life, and personal freedom collide like currents in a wild river. This is where the evening draws its tension: from movements, counter-movements, and that quiet intensity that makes good documentary cinema so powerful.

The Projector as an Ideal Space for Great Closeness

The Projector at Gasteig HP8 offers 97 seats and seems perfectly suited for film screenings with a focused atmosphere. The compact seating, dark room effect, and good acoustics create a concert experience of a different kind: no applause frenzy, but a tense audience mood where every shot carries weight. Those who love documentary film will immediately feel the special live atmosphere of a festival that does not simply show images but makes them tangible.

Festival Feeling with Clear Focus

DOK.fest Munich is one of the most important platforms for current international documentaries. The series Ganz großes Kino connects social themes, personal stories, and strong cinematic signatures. I Follow Rivers fits perfectly into this profile: a film about discipline, longing, and the question of how much space a person can claim between performance and life.

Practical Information for the Visit

The event takes place at Gasteig HP8 in Munich-Sendling. Access is barrier-free with public transport; the location is also designed for visitors with reduced mobility. In and around the building, there are signs for barrier-free access, wheelchair spaces, and supporting offers. This is a plus for festival guests, as the evening centers directly on the film without detours.

Conclusion: An Evening for Everyone Who Loves Documentaries with Substance

I Follow Rivers promises an impressive festival evening between natural force, biography, and visual language. Those seeking strong documentary stories will experience a precise, moving cinema event in a fitting environment. Save the date and experience the film live as part of DOK.fest Munich.
