Rotpunkt
Chelsea Jolly (2019)
Through failure and success, Alex Megos strives to be the best climber in the world. The movie is a portrait of the German climber and a look into the history of free climbing including the likes of Kurt Albert and Wolfgang Güllich. The film analyses Megos through his strengths and weaknesses and delves into his origins, namely the start of the Rotpunkt movement, that revolutionary red dot invented in 1975 in Germany's Frankenjura by Kurt Albert which indicates that a route has been climbed free, without the use of aid for progression.- 2019

Documentary / Chronicle
Non sei mai veramente in alto
Hans Martin Götz (1984)
You're never really high, Reinhard Karl said, and this phrase is the key to Wolfgang Güllich and Norbert Sandner, very strong 'free climbers', going on a hiking tour in the middle of some famous climbing areas of the United States, in search of the 'superclimb'; Yosemite, Joshua Tree, Monument Valley, Canyons. The ascents made by the two climbers give an idea of the high level they have reached. The wandering between one wall and another is also an opportunity for the two climbers, for an inner examination, touched the top of the last wall in the program, here is the truth: 'What matters is the path because at the very top you never get there ...''.Hans Martin Götz, Erich Lackner
