K2 - The Italian Mountain. Movie Shoot
The Austrian star director Robert Dornhelm, although not a mountaineer himself, turned it into a visually stunning, emotionally powerful film about ambition, courage and the will to survive and presented his Italian lead actors Marco Bocci and Massimo Poggio, who were also inexperienced in the Alps, with great challenges during filming. The Italian-Austrian co-production was filmed for eight weeks (February to April 2012) in and around the Hall-Wattens region, using the courtyards of Haseggdienten Castle as a camp and the Hafelekar mountain range as a backdrop for K2, which is located on the border between Pakistan and China.
