Objective and Creative Approach

To enhance the visitor experience at the Glockner Cinema on the Kaiser-Franz-Josef Höhe, where a diverse selection of films explores the natural beauty of the Großglockner and the people connected to its unique alpine world, a need arose to create a smooth and engaging transition between screenings.

The result: a charming and cleverly crafted 5-minute countdown that not only gives guests time to enter and exit comfortably but also entertains them in the process. Drawing on the beloved marmots — already established as fan favorites in previous productions — and blending them with the ever-present themes of snow and ice, we created a lighthearted, visually captivating interlude.

This playful cinematic pause doesn’t just fill time — it extends the storytelling and atmosphere of the Großglockner experience, keeping visitors immersed from start to finish.
