Hands Up To Heaven 2013

Directed by Matthias van Baaren

Under a cloudless sky, Hansi Hinterseer hosts a communal mountain fair in the alpine idyll of Kitzbühel. Observing – without judgment – the camera follows along amidst the throng of fans, waiting patiently for the revered skiing and entertainment legend to appear. Eventually, Hansi does emerge and proceeds to sing, pray, and bring people together. This is a film about a movement of both the body and the mind.
