"Where rivers wandered, life could flourish... They have shaped us as a species." Dogwoof has unveiled the first official trailer for another stunning new documentary film titled River, a follow-up to the doc feature Mountain made by filmmaker Jennifer Peedom a few years ago. River is a cinematic and musical odyssey that explores the remarkable relationship between humans and rivers. Featuring text by Robert Macfarlane, with music by Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra (Aco), and featuring music by Jonny Greenwood and Radiohead. With narration by Willem Dafoe. Peedom is one of my favorite doc directors, she creates mesmerizing works of cinematic art that celebrate the majestic and incomparable beauty of this planet we live on. Rivers have indeed played an important part in human civilization since the beginning, and I'm looking forward to watching them explore this in-depth in the film. I adore this kind of filmmaking. Here's...

The Willem Dafoe-narrated documentary “River,” from “Sherpa” director Jennifer Peedom, has unveiled its first trailer.
Produced by Stranger Than Fiction and Arrow Pictures, “River” is an exploration of the timeless relationship between humanity and rivers. Billed as an orchestral concert film, the doc is an ode to the natural word and a retelling of the history of both rivers and human civilization.
“When the first rains fell, the Earth awakened,” reads Dafoe in the moving trailer, which features stunning footage of river systems around the world. “Where rivers wandered, life could flourish. They have shaped us as a species and we worship them as gods. Today, there is scarcely a river unspanned, undammed or undiverted. The sheer scale of the human project has begun to overwhelm the world’s rivers.”
With a score composed by Richard Tognetti from the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Dafoe narrates a script from award-winning author...

Director Jennifer Peedom is set to re-team with her Mountain collaborators, the Australia Chamber Orchestra’s (Aco) Richard Tognetti and writer Robert Macfarlane, on new a theatrical documentary, River.
Co-commissioned by the ABC and BBC Arts, the project is a partnership between Stranger Than Fiction Films and the UK’s Arrow Pictures which will follow in the footsteps of its predecessor and explore the relationship between humans and rivers.
Set to span six continents and boast “extraordinary contemporary cinematography”, including satellite filming, the film promises to show rivers on scales and from perspectives never seen before.
“As Mountain drew its audience up to the highest world’s most formidable summits, so River will draw its audiences in to explore the arteries of the planet,” Peedom said.
“This is not a traditional theatrical documentary. The phenomenal global success of Mountain shows that audiences worldwide have a huge appetite for a different kind of experience.

Director Jennifer Peedom’s documentary is a big screen film that must be seen in a theater, preferable on a really big screen, to be truly appreciated. Part nature film and part history and adventure, it focuses on man’s relationship with the Earth’s tallest peaks. It is a symphony of music and sweeping aerial views of majestic mountain scenery.
BAFTA-nominated director Jennifer Peedom collaborates with the Australian Chamber Orchestra and a series of cinematographers to capture the majesty of mountains. Narration by Willem Dafoe draws on the writings of Robert MacFarlane.
Mountain starts in a different way from most films about mountains and their majesty. Instead of opening with mountains, we see black and white images of an orchestra tuning up and actor Willem Dafoe preparing...

Get ready for your heart to skip a few beats if you plan to see the current film “Mountain,” featuring goosebumps-inducing footage of wingsuiters, tightrope walkers, Base jumpers, skiers, mountain bikers and rock climbers pursuing passions that take them to the world’s highest peaks, from Alaska to Tibet.
To make the movie, director Jennifer Peedom relied on the skills of Renan Ozturk, a cinematographer who’s also a mountaineer. While Ozturk shot some fresh footage for “Mountain,” the film is mostly assembled from existing clips he lensed, as well as other images from mountaineers culled from multiple suppliers, as evidenced by the film’s lengthy credits list. Peedom, who also worked with Ozturk on her 2015 documentary “Sherpa,” was impressed by the process.
“When I couldn’t find something, Renan would know where to find it,” she says. “It would just take an email from him to say, ‘Hey, my...

I’m “biast” (con): nothing
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Documentarian Jennifer Peedom follows up her marvelous 2015 film Sherpa with another, and very different, perspective on the most soaring elements of our planet’s geography. Mountain is a meditative contemplation on the allure and the mystery, the provocation and the danger of the world’s highest peaks, as places but also as ideas. The perceptive and poetic narration, written by Peedom and Robert Macfarlane and voiced by Willem Dafoe (Murder on the Orient Express), is full of beauty — the “siren song of the summit”; “the mountains we climb are the mountains of the mind” — and snark: show-offy...

Those who think heights are better left to the birds might find themselves looking for an early exit in Mountain, a ravishing feat of vertiginous filmmaking set to a score of old and new classical compositions recorded by Richard Tognetti (Master and Commander) and his Australian Chamber Orchestra. Examining our historical obsession with the titular peaks, director Jennifer Peedom's follow-up to 2015's Sherpa is a different beast entirely, ditching a traditional human narrative to focus on that film's majestically indifferent backdrop.
The result is one of the most visceral essay films ever made, with Peedom and her Sherpa altitude cinematographer...

“I wonder how many people died in the making of that film,” quips my white-knuckled neighbour as the lights come on in the Sydney Opera House concert hall after the world premiere of Mountain, a screening accompanied by sweeping live orchestration that will tour Australia in August.
I saw only one body bag flash across the screen in this masterful documentary – a cinematic and musical collaboration between the director of Sherpa, Jennifer Peedom, and Richard Tognetti’s Australian Chamber Orchestra.

Jen Peedom.
Sherpa director Jen Peedom is hard at work on her next feature, Mountain, which she describes as "something I've been discussing with Richard Tognetti from the Australian Chamber Orchestra for a long time".
The film was "primarily conceived as a visual work", said Peedom, "to explore the history of our fascination with mountains, why we're so drawn to them and why some people risk their lives for them"..
Mountain sees Peedom again collaborating with Renan Ozturk, Sherpa's main altitude cinematographer and a North-Face sponsored climber.
"He's got an incredible library, and has hooked us up with all these other cinematographers"..
Peedom also brought in a writer, Robert Macfarlane, who wrote the multi-award winning book Mountains of the Mind, to provide narration.
"He's writing this really sparse narration script, almost poetry"..
Alongside Tognetti (providing the film's score), Ozturk and McFarland, Peedom's other key collaborator on the film is her Sherpa editor Christian Gazal,...
