Film Festival St. Anton
The St. Anton Film Festival has been an annual mountain sports and adventure film festival lasting several days since 1995. The venue is St. Anton am Arlberg in Austria .
The film festival
The St. Anton Film Festival was founded in 1995 by the then tourism director Heinrich Wagner and the Bavarian author Stefan König. 16 and 35 mm films as well as mostly television productions were shown, with a focus on historical mountain films, for example works by Luis Trenker and Arnold Fanck.
The dawn of the digital age brought profound changes for mountain, adventure and expedition films. Suddenly it was possible to make remarkable films even with a small budget and without a large film crew, and so athletes and their friends began to make films themselves.
The St. Anton Film Festival sees itself as an event with a European focus, which aims to offer the independently produced auteur film in the field of mountain and adventure sports a public forum (motto: "Mountains - People - Adventure"). Then the St. Anton Film Festival also wants to be a meeting place where athletes, filmmakers and the audience can share and exchange experiences in a relaxed atmosphere.
The St. Anton Film Festival last took place from August 28 to 31, 2013. This year, for the first time, there were additional St. Anton evenings in Vienna at the WUK and Kufstein .
