Career

[edit]

Hofstätter was born in Upper Austria, on 30 March 1964. She did not attend acting school and first appeared on stage for a bet.[1][2] She has worked on films with directors such as Michael Glawogger, Paul Harather, Marc Rothemund, Harald Sicheritz (Poppitz) and Ulrich Seidl.[1] Hofstätter played the hitchhiker in Seidl's first arthouse film, Dog Days in 2001.[3] In 2012, she played the main role of Anna-Maria in the controversial second part of Seidl's Paradise trilogy, entitled Paradise: Faith.[4] The Screen Daily review said that she "completely melts into the role, providing the backbone for the entire piece".[5]

She has also performed roles on television series such as Braunschlag by David Schalko and acted in the theatre.[6][1]

Awards

[edit]

Hofstätter won the Diagonale acting prize in 2013 and the Deutscher Schauspielpreis [de] in 2021.[1][7] She was awarded the Österreichischer Filmpreis in 2014 for her role in Paradise: Faith.[8] For her performance in Fuchs im Bau, she won a Romy and another Österreichischer Filmpreis.[9]
