Caught by the River

UNDERLAND

21st January 2026

Adapted from Robert Macfarlane’s bestselling book, UNDERLAND is a mesmerising cinematic journey into the depths of the earth. Beginning in the shallow soils beneath an old ash tree, ‘astronauts of the underworld’ travel into ancient sacred caves, flooded storm drains, melting glaciers, underwater burial chambers and a deep underground laboratory built to solve the mysteries of the Universe.

Narrated by Oscar-nominated Sandra Hüller (Anatomy of A Fall), and with a uniquely poetic approach, UNDERLAND is a deep dive into the Earth that ultimately presents a alternative vision for rethinking our lives on this fragile surface.

We’re very pleased to announce that we will be digitally releasing the film’s score, composed by Hannah Peel, on our Rivertones label on 27th March — the same day the film hits cinemas.

The film’s UK premiere takes place at The Barbican Cinema on 24th March, followed by a live Q&A with director Robert Petit, author Robert Macfarlane, and composer Hannah Peel, in conversation with writer and curator Gareth Evans. More information and tickets here.
