Langjahr-Film
Alpine Saga 2006
Award-winning director Langjahr returns to his beloved Alps to document a group of people continuing the legacy of their forefathers. Every year on Swiss National day, August 1, the Wildheuer climb up the steep mountain of the «Hinteren Heubrig», fitted out with scythes and wearing wooden shoes with spikes, just as their ancestors did before them. They are part of a generation who have lived with the challenges of nature and survived it. In his film, Langjahr's poetic realism gives an insight into these people's experience of the simple life, the very foundation of human existence.
Sennen-Ballade 1996
In this film, the viewer experiences, without commentary, the everyday life of a Sennen family at the end of the 20th century. The film raises the question of identity and thus tries to raise awareness of the great dilemmas in which we all find ourselves. Who am I? What am I doing?
