Dear friends,

2018 was an amazing year for The Water Dancers - a year that we could not have managed without your steady and continued support. We'd like to take some time out to reflect and share some of our best moments of 2018 with you.

• Crowdfunding Panel at the SA Eco Film Festival

In March, our Director, Robyn Palmer, sat on a panel at the South African Eco Film Festival to discuss the success of our crowdfunding campaign and the benefits of crowdfunding for environmental films.

• World Premiere in Durban

On July 25th, we had our world premiere at the 39th Durban International Film Festival. Our Director, DOP, and Producer attended the premiere.

• International Premiere in Poland

On October 19th, we had our international premiere at the International Green Film Festival in Krakow, Poland. Following this premiere, we screened in 4 more countries - Rwanda, Kenya, Burkina Faso, and Namibia - as part of the Goethe Institut's Science Film Festival.

• Q&A with BirdLife International & Goethe-Institut Kigali

On November 22nd, our Producer, Daniel Ndevu, partook in a Q&A and panel discussion session with researchers from BirdLife International, following The Water Dancers screening at the Goethe Institut Kigali in Rwanda.

We want to thank you for helping us to achieve these awesome milestones in 2018. Spreading the word, liking and sharing our posts has helped to get our message out even further. But we've only just begun, so here's a glimpse at what's to come in 2019.

• Festivals, Impact Campaign & Online Store Launch

This year, we have an exciting lineup of developments that we can't wait to share with you:

• More film festivals in the coming months. We'll post our latest announcements to Facebook & Twitter.

• Our impact campaign, #TheSmallThingsMatter, takes flight. We're working with partners & releasing custom learning material to complement community and educational screenings.

• The Water Dancers online store launches later this year. You'll get your hands on our stunning photobook, among other items.
