Lifelines
Frank Kretschmann (2020)
Roger Schäli and Stefan Siegrist share a close connected past in their young twenties. They started their climbing career together, living in a shared house in Interlaken. It was the crib where they started and planned their expeditions and future lives. Both became famous alpinists, but throughout the different tasks in life, they became alienated. But what used to connect them - climbing, mountains, alpinism, still works today. Roger and Stefan are daring and daunting another first ascent and are winning back their 'lost friendship'. The film tries to take a look at what goes on behind the scenes and tell the mutual story of two exceptional climbers.- 2020

Documentary / Portrait
Die Jaspers
Andreas Köstler (2017)
The Jaspers, are almost a normal family. The Jaspers are Robert and Daniela, their children Stephan and Amelie and the Tibetan Terrier Denga. They would go through everyday life as a normal family if it weren't for the past and the present. If it weren't for these abysses. Robert Jasper is an extreme mountaineer, still one of the best in the world. In his film 'Die Jaspers - eine Familie am Abgrund', SWR filmmaker Andreas Köstler paints a portrait of a family for whom the unknown on the mountain has a very special charm, without their blue-eyed, life-threatening adventures.- 2017

The beckoning silence
Louise Osmond (2007)
Joe Simpson, whose battle for survival featured in 'Touching the Void', travels to the Eiger to tell the story of one of mountaineering's most epic tragedies.

The climb started well, but disaster struck and Kurz's climbing colleagues were killed, leaving him alone and fighting for his life. The Beckoning Silence recounts Kurz's heroic battle for survival but it also forces Simpson to confront some fundamental questions of his own.
