(부산=연합뉴스) 박성제 기자 = 진재운 감독의 영화 '나무의 노래'가 2026 프리 이탈리아 TV 다큐멘터리 경쟁 부문에서 한국 작품 최초로 본상을 받았다.

'나무의 노래'는 2일(현지시간) 이탈리아 공영방송 RAI가 주관하는 2026 프리 이탈리아 TV 다큐멘터리 경쟁 부문에서 최종 수상작으로 호명됐다.

1948년 창설된 프리 이탈리아는 현존하는 최고 권위의 국제방송상으로 '방송계의 오스카상'으로 불린다.

올해는 52개국 83개 방송기관에서 총 226편이 출품됐다.

'나무의 나라'는 중앙아메리카 니카라과에서 여의도의 7배가 넘는 거대한 땅을 사들여 100만 그루의 나무를 심어온 88세 한국인 여성의 삶을 기록한 작품이다.

미국에서 생물학·생화학을 전공해 암·감염병 연구에 매진했던 주인공이 60대 중반 시한부 판정을 받은 뒤 "살아오며 지구에서 받은 것을 돌려주고 산소를 공급하겠다"며 숲을 가꾼 이야기를 다뤘다.

진 감독은 "이 영화는 우리가 자연에 대해 얼마나 듣지 않고 살아왔는지를 묻는 영화"라며 "세계의 심사위원들이 이 영화의 느린 시간과 침묵에 함께 귀 기울여 주었다는 것이 무엇보다 기쁘다"고 소감을 말했다.

한편, 이 작품은 이번 수상에 앞서 뉴욕 페스티벌에서도 장편 다큐멘터리 부문 금상을 포함해 3관왕에 올랐다.

국내에서는 제53회 한국방송대상 TV 다큐멘터리 작품상과 방송통신심의위원회 '이달의 좋은 프로그램'에 선정된 바 있다.

Export ‘format’ instead of video… Overseas, including ‘Physical: 100’ and ‘Woo Young-woo’

Dramas, entertainment shows, and movies that were successful in Korea are being remade into overseas local versions, and format export is becoming a new box office formula for K-content. The Mexican and Italian versions of Netflix's 'Physical: 100' are ranked high among global non-English shows, and various works such as the Japanese and Brazilian versions of 'Transit Love' and the Japanese version of 'Weird Lawyer Woo Young-woo' are being localized and are being aired.
