Real Silence in the Library - this episode has no music, no sound effects and no dialogue. Can’t disturb those who want to read their books in peace!

Sveriges Television (our public service) has, since 2019, aired the annual slow TV livestream “Den stora älgvandringen” or “the big moose walk”, broadcasting between 430 and 768 hours of uninterrupted footage from a quiet forest where moose regularly cross a river. In its first year alone, the stream reached nearly five million viewing hours.
