GEIERWALLY

"Wally has been with me for a very long time. We share fundamental traits and values, which the real woman behind the myth - Anna Stainer-Knittel - has also used to enrich this world. It is an immense pleasure and honor for me to be able to give this special woman and Tyrolean artist a new face."

“I believe in the power of this story. It belongs on the big screen because of its powerful images, authentic locations, original props, and genuine emotions.”

“As an actor, I am drawn to the raw emotionality, the powerful natural backdrop, and the opportunity to perform in a story steeped in tradition and timelessly modern. I want to be part of this intense story about the struggle between the heart, one's origins, and self-determination.”

“I knew immediately that I wanted to be part of it. Some stories need to be told. Over and over again. I am delighted that this heroic journey will now find its audience.”

“Three years ago, Sabrina joined me on this adventure called ”Geierwally.“ What has begun small has grown into a joint project close to our hearts. I am particularly pleased that ”our work“ is now finding an audience as a film.”

“I don't think I can get away with being Mr. Lover-Lover anymore, but as Stromminger, I'm still BOMBASTIC.”

"With such an enthusiastic and motivated team to make this special film and play this brilliant role in it -I'm really looking forward to it!"

“It's always an excellent time to be involved in a new project with great people. I also like stories with strong characters, and it's even better when, in this case, the main character is very true to life.”

"As a native of South Tyrol, I am particularly pleased to be part of this story. For me, it is a wonderful, profound love story. It shows us how important it is to believe in yourself, not to give up, and to follow your heart. We also feel a deep connection to nature - especially to Wally and her eagle, who is more than just an animal: it symbolises freedom, loyalty, and the quiet power of connection."

“As someone who grew up in the Tyrolean mountains and carries the stories of the past within me, I am proud to be able to play the role of Benedikt; it feels like it was tailor-made for me. The energy and passion of the entire cast are simply contagious, and I am convinced that this project will take the big screen by storm!”

“I've been on stage for sixty years, and now, at seventy, I get to be in a movie! And what's more, it's ”Geierwally,“ a story that has been part of my dreams since I was a child: dramatic, Tyrolean, powerful, moving - simply tailor-made for the screen. I'm excited!”

“I am a golden eagle and my name is Mara. In the new version of the Geierwally, I will be seen as Ranja, Wally's faithful companion.”

“A film project about Geierwally helps to bring forgotten perspectives into light and bring female history to life.”

“As the Feinripp Ensemble, we will enrich the project with our experience and our own Tyrolean humor.”

“When two people have an idea to retell a story that has been told many times before with so much heart, commitment, and perseverance, to reveal the real woman behind the pseudonym Geierwally, and then you have the chance to be part of it—well, that's just a mega-cool thing.”

“Geierwally is a piece of Tyrolean history. I deeply appreciate that this wonderful story will include elements of the real woman behind the famous Geierwally.”

“Legends are meant to be told. Again and again. That makes them legends and their stories and lessons unforgettable.”

“As an actor and juggler, I am particularly delighted to be part of the reinterpretation of a classic!”

"The Geierwally is a story about love for nature, animals, and values that make us strong. Stories like this, with a strong connection to the beauty of our country, can inspire many people and remind us with humility of the abundance we currently enjoy in Austria."

“The stunning backdrop of the Tyrolean mountains and landscapes makes this film something special.”

“The Geierwally is wild and courageous - a timeless role model for self-determination and freedom. A fantastic team is putting something great together here.”

“There is probably no better place than Tyrol to tell the story of the Geierwally. A fearless woman with an unshakeable will to live in freedom.”

“The alpine backdrop and strong female lead character provide the ideal setting for a gripping cinematic experience.”

"This motivated team of artists has the horsepower to bring the story of this courageous and impressive personality to the big screen. It is, therefore, a great honour for me to play the blacksmith."

"I think the story behind it is so great -how the idea for the remake came about - and that alone is reason enough for the film to be shown on the big screen."

"Resi Pesendorfer, Melli Beese, Clärenore Stinnes, Berta von Suttner, our Geierwally, and many more: unique individuals who we should all look up to!"

“What I like most is that the film is set in nature and features animals that live at home with me! Die Geierwally shows the beauty of nature and our country.”

“I really enjoy acting! Geierwally belongs on the big screen because she is a courageous woman who follows her path and doesn't let anything get her down.”

“I think golden eagles are cool, I like wearing lederhosen, and I'm a rascal just like Vinzenz.”

"I think it's such a great, unique opportunity to be part of the remake. As a child, I was so fascinated by the film with Barbara Rütting."

“As a proud Noriker, I play Wally's horse. Otherwise, I'm doing great where I am right now.”

“Die Geierwally is a story that deserves to be seen today, and as the Geierwally open-air theater, we are delighted to be part of this film.”

"We are delighted to be part of this special project, whose impressive history is deeply rooted in Tyrol. Whether by taking on various roles and other tasks, or by providing costumes and props, we are happy to contribute and to support the team led by our member Sabrina Engl."

“As an actor and juggler, I am particularly delighted to be part of the reinterpretation of a classic!”

"As a climber, I am highly motivated to be Wally's stunt double."
