Demon of the Himalayas (1935)
German film about a Himalayan expedition and the search for a mountain spirit, who guarded, according to the tradition of the locals, the peaks of high mountains. The long-lost and recently rediscovered and restored film is now a unique cinematic document because it is the first feature film that was shot directly in the Himalayas (up to 6400 m altitude). Hans Ertl even turned his Bell & Howell to the main summit of Sia Kangri, 7422m. Likewise, the film contains footage from India and Tibet, from a time long before the emergence of mass tourism. Some of the footage was later recycled in ‘Lost horizon’ (1937) by Frank Capra and in ‘Storm over Tibet’ (1952).

WallDale (2026)
At first glance, WallDale appears to be an ordinary town, quiet streets, familiar faces, and a reassuring sense of routine. Life moves steadily, shaped by repetition and tradition, where nothing ever truly changes. But beneath the calm exterior lies a fragile balance dependent on everyone playing their part. When a new arrival disrupts the rhythm of daily life and a violent death shatters the illusion of safety, suspicion spreads quickly. As neighbours turn on one another and secrets surface, it becomes clear that the events unfolding are not random. The town is part of a far darker experiment, controlled by hidden forces manipulating lives with cold precision. What begins as a search for a killer evolves into a fight for identity, free will, and survival as the terrifying truth behind WallDale is revealed.
