ABC has teamed up with BBC for a feature documentary looking at rivers on six continents.
River is being produced by Stranger Than Fiction Films (
Australia in Colour, David Stratton: A Cinematic Life) and Arrow Pictures in the UK.
Spanning six continents, and drawing on extraordinary contemporary cinematography, including satellite filming, the film shows rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before.
Described as a unique cinematic and musical collaboration between the ACO and BAFTA-nominated director Jennifer Peedom,
River features specially-composed music by the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s Richard Tognetti and a narration script by author Robert Macfarlane. The score also features music from Jonny Greenwood and Radiohead.
