Tamara
Christian Schmidt (2015)
In 2012, Tamara Lunger saw the 8,611-meter summit of K2 for the first time. The sight of it was awe-inspiring, not least because K2 is considered the most dangerous of the 8,000-meter peaks: More than 80 climbers have lost their lives here. Still, in 2014, the 28-year-old made her way back to Pakistan with alpinist Nikolaus Gruber to take on the biggest challenge of her mountaineering career. Between fear, passion and happiness—this is a portrait of a woman who lives and loves extremes.Christian Schmidt, Joachim Hellinger

Generation L - David Lama
Georg Dehghan (2003)
David Lama - a name every climber will run across sooner or later. Why? The young talented boy with a Nepalese farther and an Austrian mother is the first human being to climb a 8b+/5.14a rated route at the age of 12! The boy's extraordinary talent is opening doors to a new generation of climbers. The film is not a typical hero biography, it instead portrays a normal 12-year old boy who turns into an adult when climbing.- 2003

Je veux
Joachim Hellinger (2012)
French singer ZAZ was singing on a street corner in Montmartre, in a cabaret ensemble, and in a Latin rock band. Ever since her breakthrough two years ago she has given dozens of concerts in front of thousands of fans. But she has never sung at an altitude of 4800 meters. Her dream is a concert on Mont Blanc. Unplugged of course, only accompanied by her guitarist Benoît and Mathieu on the contrabass. But before they can play on the top of Europe all three musicians must ascend the mountain. Being quite green alpinists this is not an easy feat, not to mention the contrabass which has to be carried all the way up as well...
