Glimpse into the past, present, and future of lost urban rivers around the world...

Lost Rivers: Once flowing through nearly every developed city in the world, rivers provided the infrastructure upon which our modern metropolises were built. In this adventurous and revelatory look into the disappearance and recent resurfacing of these historic waterways, Lost Rivers leads us down the drain into vast underground museums of urban development.

Guiding us through the hidden river networks of London, Brescia (Italy), Montreal and Toronto, intrepid groups of subterranean explorers known as "drainers" reveal the buried waterways that house the secrets of each city's past. Exploring recent initiatives to resurface and revitalize these forgotten waterways in Yonkers and Seoul, the fascinating Lost Rivers brings to life an aspect of urban ecology that has long been kept secret.

Here is a quick preview of more films we think you will enjoy at our event!
