Taormina Arte Awards 2007
HANNA SCHYGULLA |
Date: 19/06/2007 |
 Hanna Schygulla did not know that she would ever become a professional
actor till a girl friend invited her to join a performing arts course in Munich.
There she met a young actor, Rainer Werner Fassbinder. They never finished
school, instead founded their own theatre, The Anti Theatre, began filming and
became one of the most famous and productive couples in German cinema
(“Effi Briest”, The Marriage of Maria Braun”, “The Bitter Tears of Petra Von
Kant”, “Lili Marleen”, and many others). She has also worked with directors Andrzej
Wajda (“A Love in Germany”), Wim Wenders (“Wrong Movement”), Volker
Schloendorff (“Circle of Deceit”), Margarethe von Trotta (“Sheer Madness”),
Jean-Luc Godard (“Passion”), Ettore Scola (“Il mondo nuovo”), Marco Ferreri
(“The Future is a Woman”, “The Story of Piera” for which she won Best Actress
in Cannes 1983), Kenneth Branagh (“Dead Again”), Amos Gitai (“Promised
Land”) and Bela Tarr (Werckmeister Harmonies”). Hanna Schygulla also directed
her own film, “Traumprotocoll” (1979), an experimental review of night
dreams which is now part of the film collection at New York’s Museum of
Modern Art (MoMA). She has recently begun to work with a new generation of
film makers, like Till Franzen (“Die Blaue Grenze”), Hans Steinbichler (“Winterreise”)
and Fatih Akin (“Auf Der Andere Seite”).
