"Because stories not only entertain, they also remind us. Because courage, freedom, and humanity have become quiet but all the more urgent in a world of loud opinions. Because I believe that looking back can clarify our view of the future. And because art is always at its strongest when it does not shy away."

“As the initiator of this project, I am overwhelmed by how many wonderful people want to work with me to bring this story to life, despite all the challenges. Together, we are creating something that is much bigger than us."

"I am drawn to Die Geierwally because it offers an incredibly vivid story, full of emotion, nature, and drama. I want to capture and make this power visible for the cinema audience."

“I think it's important to have strong female role models who have paved the way for unity. It's time to recognise our creative power and personal responsibility.”

“I tell stories with images and moods, and sketch out the characters through their costumes. The story about Wally is relevant today, and Wally is a captivating person - and the topic of emancipation is more important now than it was 20 years ago.”

“I am part of this project because I already felt while working on the short film Die Geierwally that this team can achieve great things with limited resources. I am very much looking forward to working together on this project - I can hardly wait to help shape the sound of this impressive piece of Tyrolean cultural history and bring it to life.”

“The GEIERWALLY belongs to our country just like the film industry, which is exactly why I want to be part of the production - because I believe we can make cinema history.”

"Until now, Geierwally has been conceived as a regional film, but I am now very keen to make a proper cinema film with this team. It's also very much about an eagle - as a falconer, I have to be involved and help produce this film."

“I love being part of this diverse team because everyone here is passionate about what they do and puts their heart and soul into their work. The new production of Die Geierwally belongs on the big screen because it breathes new life into a traditional family story and brings together a wealth of Tyrolean traditions and cultural heritage.”

"I would even go so far as to say that “Die Geierwally” is a project of the century that will stand the test of time; and who wouldn't want to be part of such a milestone in Austrian film history?"

“I want to show the mountain world through the eyes of an eagle – from a perspective full of freedom, power, and vastness.”

"Ever since we shot the short film about Geierwally, I knew there was a much bigger story to tell and even bigger images to capture. So the big screen is the only logical next step."

"What a wild ride, this is going to be epic."

“The project appeals to me because, as a Tyrolean, I find the story of the Vulture Wally particularly moving. It shows that women have always followed their path. For me, this story of self-determination belongs on the big screen.”

"I think it's great that, after such a long time, the story of Geierwally is being remade into a film, paying attention to traditional details. This is a Tyrolean project that deserves support."

“I have been fascinated by our traditional costumes for many years. Preserving and maintaining this tradition is something that is very close to my heart.”

“The world of film has fascinated and inspired me my entire life. Die Geierwally offers me the opportunity to bring my homeland to the big screen with a unique story and to inspire people.”

"For me, Anna Stainer-Knittel is one of the first famous Tyrolean women who fought for her freedom. She always followed the path she believed was right for her, rather than the one society expected of her. Her courage was also evident in the two actions that later earned her the name ‘Geierwally,’ which became one of Tyrol's first distinctive ‘trademarks’ of tourism."

"Die Geierwally ist ein Stück Tiroler Geschichte. Es freut mich, dass erstmalig die echte Frau hinter der bekannten Geierwally in diese tolle Geschichte Einzug findet."

“There's hardly anything better than working in a great team and making movie history together with Geierwally.”

"I have been involved from the beginning and witnessed how this fascinating story has come to life and taken shape. It's wonderful to be part of this—and I can't wait to see our Tyrolean mountains travel the world's movie theaters in mega size one day."
