Archival clips from the Bergen Railway's 100-year history were shown when the train passed through tunnels, to make the final show last exactly as long as the train trip. Four cameras were used to produce the documentary, showing both exterior and interior views, along with interviews with crew, train conductors, historians, past workers and passengers. The event was planned as part of the 100-year anniversary of the existence of the Bergen Line. It was aired on NRK2 on 27 November 2009 and came to be described as 'the iconic slow-TV program'. NRK's first foray into slow television was Bergensbanen minute by minute – train journey across Southern Norway, which depicted the 7-hour train journey from Bergen to Oslo along the Bergen Line ( Norwegian: Bergensbanen). The Bergen Line with the principal stations used in the 2009 broadcast. īoth events received extensive attention in both Norwegian and foreign media, and were considered a great success with coverage numbers exceeding all expectations and record ratings for the NRK2 channel. It was followed by the live coverage of the Hurtigruten ship MS Nordnorge during its 134-hour voyage from Bergen to Kirkenes starting on 16 June 2011. The latest evolution of the concept started with the NRK's coverage of the longest driver's eye view at that time, showing the complete 7-hour train ride along the Bergen Line ( Norwegian: Bergensbanen) on 27 November 2009. The concept was adapted to slow television on local TV broadcast in 1966 by WPIX, to VHS video tape in 1984 by the British company Video125, to satellite TV in 2003 by Bahn TV, and to live TV in 2011 by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK). Warhol's production process involved splicing and looping of film that he had originally shot in 3-4 minute lengths. Background Īn early example of extended length cinematography was artist Andy Warhol's 1964 film Sleep, which showed poet John Giorno sleeping for five hours and twenty minutes. It was popularised in the 2000s by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), beginning with the broadcast of a 7-hour train journey in 2009.

Its name is derived both from the long endurance of the broadcast as well as from the natural slow pace of the television programme's progress. Slow television, or slow TV ( Norwegian: sakte-TV), is a term used for a genre of 'marathon' television coverage of an ordinary event in its complete length.
