| Overview: | German filmmaker and doctor Arnold Fanck (1889-1974) made this beautifully photographed Bergfilm, or ‘mountain film', in 1926.
Written in three days and nights – especially for Riefenstahl – The Holy Mountain took over a year to film in the Alps with an entourage of expert skiers and climbers.
