“Winter am Alpenrand” is a blue-chip nature film that serves up captivating natural history and outstanding artful visuals in equal measure. It portrays animals that have developed special behaviours to cope with the harsh mountain conditions and shows extraordinary plants in both slow motion and time-lapse against a deep winter backdrop. Though a feast for the eyes, the film is also a plea for concerted climate action: Nowhere in our latitudes is global warming more noticeable than in the mountains, where winter is increasingly retreating to higher altitudes.
