Timeline
Fanck died on 28 September 1974 in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, at the age of 85. He is buried in the Hauptfriedhof in Freiburg.
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.
When he was obliged for the Volkssturm (a German national militia of the last months of World War II. ) in 1945 he fled from Berlin and lived in Freiburg.
Arnold Fanck changed from the feature films to documentaries from the middle of the 30's. After the movie "Der ewige Traum" (1934) and the documentary "Höchstleistungen im Skilauf" (1935) he went to Japan and South America where he made documentaries.
Although Arnold Fanck refused to become a member of the NSDAP 1933 he was able to continue his work in Germany. Only in 1940 he had to give to the pressure and became a member.
He was characterized as a martinet by a number of actors he directed, including Leni Riefenstahl. His actors often suffered bruises, cuts and injuries as a result of being in some of his films, especially the "mountain" films. In one instance Riefenstahl was hauled halfway up a cliff and "buried" by an avalanche triggered by Fanck having dynamite exploded on the mountain above her. There were no stand-ins in Fanck's vocabulary. Riefenstahl even complained about having bruises for several months after the making of White Hell of Pitz Palu (1929) (aka 'The White Hell of Piz Palu'). Notwithstanding this, working conditions on some of Fanck's films were mitigated by having the more humane Georg Wilhelm Pabst as a co-director.
Luis Trenker made his film debut with Fanck's "Der Berg des Schicksals" (1924). He later became a very popular movie star in the 30's with his own mountain movies and his popularity continued till his death. Beside Luis Trenker there was another future world star for whom Arnold Fanck paved the way - Leni Riefenstahl.
In 1920 Fanck founded together with Dr. Deodatus Tauern the Berg- and Sportfilm GmbH Freiburg, also a member of the company was Sepp Allgeier who shot Arnold Fanck's first movies.
After the final examination of his education died his father in 1906 and the family went to Freiburg where Arnold Fanck discovered skiing for himself and with it the fascination of nature he explored as a climber and photographer.
