The Weather Prophets – Unreleased Footage from Christoph Felder's Documentary The documentary "The Weather Prophets" by Christoph Felder takes us to the Muotathal valley in Switzerland, where the legendary weather prophets – also known as "weather forecasters" – have been trying to predict weather patterns based on observations of nature for generations. The film follows farmers, hunters, and mountain dwellers whose knowledge has been honed through decades of experience with nature. The Muotathal valley is known for its particularly rapid weather changes and a unique tradition of weather interpretation. Christoph Felder's documentary is particularly compelling due to its close connection to the people, its calm observation, and its authentic portrayal of an alpine way of life that has already disappeared in many places. Instead of ridiculing the weather prophets, the film showcases their experience, their humor, and their deep connection to nature. The film has received international acclaim and was awarded at the Matsalu International Nature Film Festival, among other accolades. In this video on Nahdran TV, we present previously unreleased footage as well as scenes that were only partially included or not included at all in the final film. The footage offers additional insights into the daily lives of the weather prophets, the filming process, and special moments that didn't make it into the final cut.
