She went to the Alps to meet the film's director, Arnold Fanck, hoping to secure the lead in his next project.

Riefenstahl went on to star in many of Fanck ’ s mountain films as an athletic and adventurous young woman with a suggestive appeal ; she became an accomplished mountaineer during the winters of filming on mountains and learned filmmaking techniques.

Fanck received no further job offers and went to work as a lumberjack.

His first contact with film came in 1921, when he helped director Arnold Fanck on one of his mountain films.

In 1937, he collaborated with director Arnold Fanck on a German-Japanese co-production, starring the young Setsuko Hara.

According to an essay by Doug Cummings in the DVD release of the landmark The Holy Mountain ( 1926 ), Fanck saw his first motion picture in 1913, and after serving in World War I, purchased a rare Ernemann slow-motion camera, taught himself to shoot on location during an expedition to climb the Jungfrau, taught himself to edit on his mother's kitchen table, and distributed the finished product himself.

Together with Odo Deodatus Tauern, Bernhard Villinger and Rolf Bauer, Fanck established the company " Berg-und Sportfilm GmbH Freiburg " in Freiburg im Breisgau in 1920.

During the National Socialist period, Fanck got in trouble with propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels, since he refused to cooperate — apparently because of the necessity of joining the party.

With The Daughter of the Samurai and other " culture films ", Fanck decided to cooperate with the Nazi regime.

He also co-published a book ( with Fanck ), named Die Wunder des Schneeschuhs which became translated to English as The Wonders of Skiing in 1931.

Riefenstahl accompanied Fanck to the 1928 Olympic Games in St. Moritz, where she became interested in athletic photography and filming.

The young interpretive dancer Leni Riefenstahl was mesmerized by Fanck's fifth feature, Mountain of Destiny ( 1924 ) and successfully pursued Fanck and his star Luis Trenker, convincing them to make her the star of The Holy Mountain.

Arnold Fanck ( born 6 March 1889, Frankenthal, Germany — died 28 September 1974, Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany ) was a pioneer of the German mountain film.

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.

This conflict brought Fanck into economic difficulties, from which he was only able to escape by accepting a contract from the Japanese ministry of culture in 1936.

I went to the hall in the afternoons only, on these preliminary matters.

Once, pressing him, I learned that his job was only part-time, in the afternoons when nothing went on in the hall.
