No host, no staging. Long shots, soothing narration and nature filling the entire space.
Landscapes and wildlife filmed across 5 continents, at an international caliber. Each episode is rooted in a specific territory, with knowledge unique to it.
Broadcast simultaneously in French and English, in Canada and the United States. Designed from the outset to be translated and distributed on a large scale.
In 2009, Norway’s public broadcaster aired a seven-hour train journey in real time, with no narration or music. 1.2 million Norwegians watched, out of a population of five million. Slow TV was born.
Since then, the BBC, Swedish television, and Netflix have embraced the format. And audiences have never stopped seeking it out.
Wind through the branches, water flowing, an animal's footsteps in the snow. Ambient sounds are captured up close, using an approach similar to ASMR: what you hear matters just as much as what you see.
Slow TV is watched the way you listen to music. No tension, no fast-paced editing, nothing to keep track of. Its calming, zen-like effect is immediate.
Lands of Nature is produced in the province of Quebec, Canada, by a Quebec-based team. Each episode runs 23 minutes. The series is broadcast in French and English, in Canada and the United States, on two separate networks — a rare choice that gives it access to two markets at once.
What comes next is already in the works: the series is designed to be translated into other languages and broadcast in other countries. The images themselves need no translation.
