Born in 1960 in Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia, he tells stories about his childhood and youth that make it seem certain those years have also been a source of inspiration for his success as a children’s author and filmmaker. He grew up in a mining community where everyone knew everyone else – a whole crowd of kids spent their afternoons together. “After our homework, no one took any interest in us until the sun went down, so we had to occupy ourselves,” he recalls. There was no television, no constant stream of entertainment, but there was a lot of football, of course. Initially, Masannek studied German Philology and Philosophy, at the age of 23 he landed in Munich and soon afterwards at the local film school. As from 1992 he worked as a set designer and cameraman for various productions, later as a screenplay writer and script consultant. For a long time, however, his ideas for children’s films fell on deaf ears, although his children’s musical THE GRAPE- FRUIT MOON (1989) received some positive echoes. Things have changed now, though: he found his inspiration for the greatest ever German children’s film success in his work as a football trainer – his two sons were among the original “wild guys”. Today Masannek ssay that as an artist, one probably ought never to grow up completely – and children keep you even younger. If this is true, we still have plenty to look forward to, as soon the filmmaker is due to become a father for the third time. His films include: BOMBER (short, 1992), IN LIEBE, CATHERINE (short, 1992), DER BÄR (commercial, 1992), and all five THE WILD SOCCER BUNCH (DIE WILDEN KERLE) films.

  • Press Release a Tribute To... Award to German Director Tom Tykwer One
    Press Release A Tribute to... Award to German Director Tom Tykwer One of Europe’s Most Versatile Directors August 24, 2012 This year’s A Tribute to... award goes to author, director and producer Tom Tykwer. This is the first time that a German filmmaker has ever received one of the Zurich Film Festival’s honorary awards. Tykwer will collect his award in person during the Award Night at the Zurich Opera House. The ZFF will screen his most important films in a retrospective held at the Filmpodium. The ZFF is delighted that one of Europe’s most versatile directors is coming to Zurich. “Tom Tykwer has ensured that German film has once more gained in renown, significance and innovation, both on a national and international level,” said the festival management. Born 1965 in Wuppertal, Tom Tykwer shot his first feature DEADLY MARIA in 1993. He founded the X Filme Creative Pool in 1994 together with Stefan Arndt and the directors Wolfgang Becker and Dani Levy. It is currently one of Germany’s most successful production and distribution companies. RUN LOLA RUN Tykwer’s second cinema feature WINTER SLEEPERS (1997) was screened in competition at the Locarno Film Festival. RUN LOLA RUN followed in 1998, with Franka Potente and Moritz Bleibtreu finding themselves as the protagonists in a huge international success. The film won numerous awards, including the Deutscher Filmpreis in Gold for best directing. Next came THE PRINCESS AND THE WARRIOR (2000), also with Frank Potente, followed by Tykwer’s fist English language production HEAVEN (2002), which is based on a screenplay by the Polish director Krzysztof Kieslowski and stars Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi.

In exploring issues of class, gender, nation, and conflict by means of close analysis, the course seeks to sensitize students to the cultural context of these films and the changing socio-political and historical climates in which they arose. Special attention will be paid to the issue of film style. We will also reflect on what constitutes the “canon” when discussing films, especially those of recent vintage. Directors include Robert Wiene, F.W. Murnau, Fritz Lang, Lotte Reiniger, Leni Riefenstahl, Alexander Kluge, Volker Schlöndorff, Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Andreas Dresen, Christian Petzold, Jessica Hausner, Michael Haneke, Angela Schanelec, Barbara Albert.

  • Introduction to the Second Edition
    Introduction to the Second Edition By Dr. Rochelle G. Saidel Founder and Director, Remember the Women Institute Remember the Women Institute has created this Women, Theatre, and the Holocaust Resource Handbook as a service to educators and others for whom this information is relevant and necessary. The information here is also intended to be incorporated into two larger projects: the Holocaust Theater Catalog of the National Jewish Theater Foundation, as well as a virtual Holocaust Theatre Online Collection (currently only in Hebrew) for All About Jewish Theatre. We are pleased to be part of both of these larger projects, the former based in the United States and the latter, in Israel. We launched the first edition of this resource handbook in April 2015, at a Yom HaShoah commemoration co-sponsored by Remember the Women Institute, American Jewish Historical Society, and All About Jewish Theatre, and held at the Center for Jewish History, New York. The event coincided with the Remembrance Readings Day of National Jewish Theater Foundation, which encourages using theatre to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive. This new updated 2016 edition of the resource handbook is also being released in conjunction with Remembrance Readings Day on May 2, with a program of readings at the Center for Jewish History in New York, co-sponsored by the American Jewish Historical Society. Like the 2015 event, the program is a reflection of the goals of this resource handbook: providing information on and encouraging the production of plays and dramatic presentations about the Holocaust that are written by women and/or about the experience of women during the Holocaust.
