Together with Odo Deodatus Tauern, Bernhard Villinger and Rolf Bauer, Fanck established the company "Berg- und Sportfilm GmbH Freiburg" in Freiburg im Breisgau in 1920 . Fanck, who held a PhD in Geology , realized mountain films, Sport Film s and Ski Film s. He was assisted by Sepp Allgeier , a Cameraman who later belonged to Leni Riefenstahl 's team. His most popular and successful films of the period between the wars include:
During the National Socialist period, Fanck got in trouble with propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels , since he refused to cooperate — apparently because of the necessity of joining the party. In 1934 , he also began working on his film ''Der ewige Traum/Der König vom Mont-Blanc'', which not only starred a French Hero in French mountains, but also had a Jewish Producer , Gregor Rabinowitsch . This conflict brought Fanck into economic difficulties, which he was only able to surmount by accepting a contract of the Japan ese ministry of culture in 1936 . With ''Die Tochter des Samurai'' and other "culture films", Fanck decided to cooperate with the fascist regime. Soon afterwards, he produced ''Ein Robinson'' ( 1938 / 39 ) a Propaganda Film for Bavaria Filmkunst . After World War II , Fanck's main films of the National Socialist period were proscribed by the allied military governments. Fanck received no further job offers and had to work as a Lumberjack . After the screening of his film ''Der ewige Traum'' at the mountain film festival in Trento in 1957 , Fanck was once again recognized for his artistic achievements. In order to survive his economic difficulties, however, he was forced to sell the rights to his films to a friend, until TV broadcasts improved his situation. EXTERNAL LINKS |
