Meet the river
Hungary
Micro-documentary
The short movie documents the works of the group "Valyo - Város és folyó" (City and the River) in 2013. This team has been working together for four years now to incorporate the river Danube into the life of the city Budapest by actions and community events in public spaces. These events aim to make the riverside places of the city more liveable and cozy. The programme of the 2013 Danube Trail included the creation of giant furnitures with the voluntary work of the people of the city and the first step of the rehabilitation of the ruined public space under the Petőfi Bridge with a light installation, while a minifestival organized by the group encrowdened the Pest side of the Chain Bridge with its cultural programmes. The movie let's us know about the future plans of the group: they intend to bring even more action to the banks with a specialized bus.
