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.
David Stratton: A Cinematic Life is now available to stream on TVNZ OnDemand s Pulse channel.
OPINION: The newish TVNZ OnDemand channel Pulse continues to be some kind of cultural oasis among the free-to-airs. In fact, even with its severely limited selection of arts and music documentary programming, Pulse is still comprehensively kicking Netflix NZ right in the bum, with the international big-hitter offering a laughably obvious and malnourished selection of docos outside of the – usually queasily exploitative – “true crime” and historical atrocities genres. If you want to see what a genuinely great selection of documentaries looks like, you re going to have to support your local surviving video store. But, if that s no longer an option, Pulse at least exists, even if TVNZ don t yet seem to have any idea how to market it.
