FILM TIP: “A YEAR IN THE KAUNERTAL – PAST AND PRESENT 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE FILM

The film and the accompanying, audiovisual archive of contemporary witness testimonies preserve and convey the Kaunertal’s cultural and societal heritage, containing everyday stories both great and small. The collection has sentimental and touristic value that answers some questions and asks others. Dedicated to today’s and future generations in the Kaunertal, this collection is a unique document of alpine life.

The film was shot from January 2013 until December 2015. The team also used additional content gained from the scientific findings of local chronicler Martin Frey.
