RIVER

Alongside co-director Joseph Nizeti, and working again with her Mountain collaborators – narrator William Dafoe, writer Robert Macfarlane and the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s Richard Tognetti – Peedom has crafted another breathtaking visual and musical odyssey, this time spanning six continents. Featuring sublime on-the-ground, aerial and satellite cinematography, this rousing, propulsive film is set to a soundtrack that includes the music of Bach, Vivaldi, Ravel and Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood, Tognetti’s original compositions, and vocals by award-winning Kalkadunga musician William Barton.

RIVER journeys through time and space, spanning six continents and drawing on extraordinary contemporary photography, showing rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before honoring the wildness of rivers but also recognizing their vulnerability.

Throughout history, rivers have shaped our landscapes and our journeys; flowed through our cultures and dreams. Its union of image, music and sparse, poetic script will create a film that is both dream-like and powerful, honouring the wildness of rivers but also recognises their vulnerability.

RIVER is a profound cinematic and musical reflection on how rivers have shaped both the planets elaborate landscapes and all human existence
