Werner Schroeter (7 April 1945 – 12 April 2010) was a German film director and screenwriter,[1][2] who some consider among the most important German writer-directors of the post-war period.
Biography
Schroeter had also worked in film as a producer, cinematographer, editor and actor. In the later function he appeared in several films directed by his friend Rainer Werner Fassbinder, including Beware of a Holy Whore (1971), and a number of theatre productions.
His 1980 film Palermo oder Wolfsburg, telling the story of a Sicilian guest worker in Germany, won the Golden Bear at the 30th Berlin International Film Festival,[3] while his 1991 production Malina was entered into that year's Cannes Film Festival.[4]
At the time of his death, Schroeter had been organizing a photography exhibit with art dealer friend Christian Holzfuss featuring his own work, most of which were manipulated portraits of the many actresses he had worked with throughout the years. [5]
Personal life
In the 1960s, Schroeter worked with Rosa von Praunheim, who is also gay.[6] Schroeter has also worked as a theater and opera director, in Germany and elsewhere. In the late 1970s Schroeter met the Irish artist Reginald Gray at a collection of Yves Saint Laurent in Paris. Gray painted a portrait of Schroeter.[7]
