Dan Dinu and Cosmin Dumitrache’s documentary „Wild Romania” will be available on HBO Max starting May 12. The three-part miniseries will also run on HBO in July.
The film „Wild Romania” premiered at TIFF 2021 and won honours for best documentary, best original music, and best sound at the Gopo 2022 Awards.
The miniseries „Wild Romania” is the result of a team’s efforts that spanned thousands of kilometres, hundreds of hours of filming, and ten years of planning.
The three episodes, narrated in Romanian by Melania Medeleanu and in English by Peter Venn, take you on a thrilling adventure through stunning and difficult-to-reach locations, telling fascinating anecdotes about Romania’s biodiversity.
I watched the movie dizzy with such beauty. And if I usually want my voice to be heard when I speak, this time I wanted it to be more whispered, to add information without distracting from the song of nature. I read with love and emotion and, especially, with gratitude to those who brought the wild beauty of our Romania to the screens.
