CONWAY — An Austrian film-producing couple returned to Mount Washington Valley from last Friday to Tuesday to continue doing research for a feature film and documentary on late Austrian/Cranmore skimeister Hannes Schneider (1890-1955).
Making their second visit to the valley in four years were Austrian filmmakers Alessandra Ravanelli and Marcus Knaus of Blue Danube Media of Vienna, a film company founded by Knaus' father in 2000.
