SIEBENSEKUNDEN - Der Traum vom Fliegen

In the organizer's words:

Film discussion with director/cinematographer Martina Di Lorenzo and editor Thorsten Gruna afterwards.

The cinema documentary "SIEBENSEKUNDEN" takes viewers into the world of ski flying, the supreme discipline of ski jumping with flights of well over 200 meters - a discipline that was previously reserved for men only.
After years of fighting for equal rights, the best female ski jumpers in the world are preparing for a historic event: The film accompanies Katharina Schmid née Althaus (GER) and Eva Pinkelnig (AUT) on their way to their first flight from the world's largest ski jump and leaves no doubt about the passion and conviction of the two top athletes.

In her directorial debut, camerawoman Martina Di Lorenzo is close to the two exceptional world-class talents during an extraordinarily successful season and, in addition to training and competition, also provides private insights into the lives of the athletes. A film that shows the physical and mental challenges of the two women in competitive sport and accompanies them in their fight for equal rights in skiing.

"SIEBENSEKUNDEN" and its maker Martina Di Lorenzo want to encourage women and girls to stand up for their dreams.
