Film Symphony: The White Hell of Pitz Palu
Frank Strobel Conductor
Stummfilm aus dem Jahr 1929. Regie Arnold Fanck / Georg Wilhelm Pabst
Crevasses, avalanches, rescue attempts – the mountain film drama "The White Hell of Piz Palü" tells of the great dangers in the Bernina massif. Together with a young couple, mountaineer Dr Johannes Kraft ventures to the north face of Piz Palü. The main protagonist of the silent film, however, is the breathtaking Engadine mountain world. The spectacular nature shots made the film an international sensation when it was released in 1929. By the standards of the time, it was a risky shoot that gave directors Arnold Fanck and Georg Wilhelm Pabst their experience with the force of nature. We show the mountain film classic with the film music by Ashley Irwin.
