ZDF Studios is gearing up to present the documentary 'Tepui – Into the House of Gods' for sales at MipTV. This 50-minute film promises to transport audiences to a secluded world that has remained isolated for millions of years – the tabletop mountains in southern Venezuela. The production is a collaboration between Gruppe 5 Filmproduktion, ZDF's Terra X slot, Arte, and ZDF Studios, with direction and cinematography by Lars Abromeit and Jochen Schmoll.
The term 'Tepui' translates to 'House of Gods,' reflecting the reverence these mountains hold among the indigenous communities in southern Venezuela. Scientists view the Tepuis as 'islands of time,' prompting an international and interdisciplinary research team to embark on a perilous expedition to study life on these ancient mountains.
