Der blinde Mann und der Berg
Juliane Möcklinghoff (2017)
The Lienzer Dolomites are Andy Holzer's home, but he has never seen them before. The mountains all over the world attract him magically - even though he is blind. Andy Holzer is an extreme mountaineer who was born without sight. He has already conquered six of the highest peaks of all continents, only the highest, Mount Everest, is still missing. Twice Andy Holzer had to turn back, twice he was stopped by natural disasters that cost the lives of many people. But giving up is not Andy Holzer's thing. He has a mission: He wants to open the eyes of those who see, show them how he 'sees' the world.- 2017

Unter Blinden
Eva Spreitzhofer (2015)
Andy Holzer is an extreme mountaineer and he has already climbed six of the 'Seven Summits'. What makes the difference between him and other professional alpinists? He is blind.

In his speeches for managers, he explains the world to the seeing people. This film shows in a thrilling but also funny way, how liberating it can be to adhere to weaknesses, and to concentrate on potencies.- 2015
