Before becoming a controversial figure in film history, Leni Riefenstahl was known for her early Bergfilme, or “mountain films,” a Weimer-era German film genre showcasing adventure in the Alps. Discover the charm and chaos of The Great Leap (Der große Sprung), a silent romantic comedy starring Riefenstahl as an Italian mountain villager whose life is turned upside down by tourists on a ski trip.
