An ancient fortress, a historic centre of true baroque, the venue of a legendary stage festival - this is the Salzburg familiar to everyone. But Georg Riha's documentary presents Mozart's city from perspectives never seen before. Unshackled by space and time the viewer enters upon a unique filmic foray into one of the world's most popular cultural centres, discovering the still unknown and hidden beauties of this fascinating city off the beaten tourist tracks.
Breath-taking aerials take the viewer soaring above the cathedral and the fortress. Fascinating time-lapse shots put the dimension of time into a new perspective. The highlights in this documentary are truly singular shots with the CAMCAT, the high-tech cable-car tracking system developed by Brains & Pictures. In a vertical track shot we watch Salzburg's "mountain cleaners" doing their dizzying job. A sensational CAMCAT opening shot links the fortress' turrets to the Everyman stage way down on Cathedral Square.
The DVD contains the documentation to the original 50‘s version as well as the "making of" in both German and English. Price: € 20.75 excl. VAT+ shipping.
