Hi sundialists,
as Jägerstätter has been born 50 km West of my home town and the mentioned military base in Enns is 50 km East I will try to figure it out. But: A) As I followed the description most of the film has been shot in South Tyrol/North Italy and not in the Austrian Alps (After the First World War Tyrol has been separated to three parts: North (Center Innsbruck), East (Center Lienz) – both Austria, and South (Center Bozen) - Italy. The European Alps reach starting East from nearly Vienna, cross most of Austria/North Italy, go further across Switzerland and part of East/South France. Lots of beautiful places by the way! B) Secondly Jägerstätter worked at a mine in Styria/Austria but lived most of his life in in the whole flat Innviertel/Upper Austria. The Austrian Alps are 50 km South. So the film identifies more a random place but likely tries to figure out the idea of Jägerstätter. Within the description of the movie I found a hint to a castle in South Tyrol with a sundial – Velthurns Castle: I did not see the film yet but could this be the solution?

Jänner 2020 09:01 An: Sundial Sundial <[email protected]> Betreff: A dial in the movie "A Hidden Life" (2019) Happy New 2020, Friends: In the new film "A Hidden Life" (2019, Director: Terrence Malik), a large wall sundial appears in the backdrop of a scene at about 100 minutes into the film. My question is: can anyone identify where this scene was shot? The film is not a standard feature film and not for everyone’s taste — 3 hours long, slow-paced, beautiful cinematography of the Austrian Alps, raising many moral conundrums, simultaneously joyful and heart-wrenching. It tells the story of the Austrian peasant farmer Franz Jägerstätter (read about him and the film on Wikipedia), who refused to sign a loyalty oath to Hitler, which eventually led to his execution in 1943. The scene with the sundial takes place at a military base in Enns (Austria) but of course it could have been shot somewhere else. I suspect that one of our Austrian diallists may recognize the dial. Let us know!
