Werner Schroeter
Werner Schroeter (7 April 1945 – 12 April 2010) was a German film director, screenwriter, and opera director known for his stylistic excess. Schroeter was cited by Rainer Werner Fassbinder as an influence both on his own work and on German cinema at large. Life and career Schroeter started out as an underground filmmaker in 1967. Garnering a small cult following, the director also made his mark on the international festival circuit. Defying categorization, his films lie somewhere between ''avant-garde'' and art cinema. Magdalena Montezuma was a German underground star that became his muse until her death in 1985. Other notable actors to star in his films include: Bulle Ogier, Carole Bouquet, and Isabelle Huppert. After attending the Film Festival at Knokke, Belgium in 1967, Schroeter made his first 8mm film, ''Maria Callas Portrait'', that consisted of animated stills of Callas overlaid with the sound of her singing. '' Eika Katappa'' was his first feature, which mixes pop a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Guest Worker
Foreign workers or guest workers are people who work in a country other than one of which they are a citizen.
