Feature Documentary Film | Next Screening: February 1, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

French water games, Canadian wild geese, Buddhist prayers, beatified women \u2013 an entire world within just 39 kilometers of river.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With WORLD ALONG THE W\u00dcRM \u2013 FOREIGN HOME<\/strong>, a remarkable feature-length documentary film from Bavaria<\/strong> reaches the screen. Shot in widescreen format, the 60-minute film embarks on a cinematic journey along the W\u00fcrm River, revealing places and encounters that have largely remained unknown\u2014even to long-time local residents.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The film deliberately focuses on the unfamiliar within the familiar<\/strong>, showing how closely the local and the global are intertwined along this seemingly modest river. After all, the W\u00fcrm gave its name to the last Ice Age.<\/p>\n

Although the camera never strays much farther from the river than a beaver might, the encounters are astonishing. They raise fundamental questions:
What belongs here? What is foreign, what is native? Is home a protected and stable place\u2014or is it itself part of constant transformation? And if so, what does this mean for those who live along the river: loss, danger, change, or enrichment?<\/p>\n

Insights come from extraordinary individuals whose lives and work are connected to the W\u00fcrm, including the internationally renowned photographer Michael Martin<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, ornithologist Auguste Prinzessin von Bayern<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, Mark<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, Metropolitan of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and Tulku Khyungdor Rinpoche<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, known as the \u201cWhite Lama of Munich.\u201d The filmmakers behind the popular TV series Dahoam is Dahoam<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, whose studios are located along the W\u00fcrm in Dachau, also share their perspectives.<\/p>\n

The film concludes with a timeless observation by W\u00fcrm resident Karl Valentin:
\u201cA stranger is only strange in a foreign place and only until they no longer feel foreign.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The project was initiated by filmmaker Friedrich Kl\u00fctsch<\/span><\/span><\/strong>, who lives along the W\u00fcrm in Obermenzing. His close proximity to the subject allowed him to take time and gain unique access to people and places that would otherwise have remained closed.<\/p>\n

A small river. Big questions.<\/strong>
A film about home, identity, and the world reflected in the local.<\/p>\n
