A small village in the Swiss mountains: Kiental. Lenin held a secret meeting here and Friedrich Dürrenmatt used the village as inspiration for his play "The Visit of the Old Lady". Singer and filmmaker Christina Zurbrügg was born in Kiental and tells of memories and the present with poetry and humour.

15. May 2024, 20:00: Alpenland (Robert Schabus, AT)

The Alps are not only a spectacular natural landscape in the heart of Europe, but also a habitat for 13 million people in eight countries, whose multitude of languages, dialects and ways of life reflect the cultural diversity of this unique region. In his cinema documentary Alpenland, Robert Schabus embarks on a journey into the mountains with great empathy and a close eye. More information about the film: https://alpenland-film.at/de/film

26. May 2024, 11:00 am: Bergfahrt (Dominique Margot, CH)
After years of mass tourism in the Alps, a rethink is slowly taking place. Whether researchers, artists or philosophers: Many are trying to approach the nature of the mountains in a new way. They reflect the contrasting approaches at this critical time, when we need to redefine our learnt values and actively seek change.
