Georg Brintrup (born October 25, 1950) is a German film director, known for his film essays on poetry and music.
Life and career
Brintrup began making films — from the very beginning, they were mostly non-narrative essays on music and poetry — in 1968. He studied Journalism, History of Art and the Romance Languages at the University of Münster (Germany). From 1972, he studied at a film school in Rome (Italy). Part of his thesis entitled "Literature in Films" (1975) is his short film "My miracles", seven poems by Else Lasker-Schüler, in German language. He went on to make films as an independent filmmaker. His first bigger film was “Spielregel für einen Wiedertäuferfilm” (1976) - (Rules For a Film about Anabaptists), which was shown at the 1977 International Film Festival Rotterdam and Berlin International Film Festival (Internationales Forum des Jungen Films) . From 1979 on, he started directing films for German, Italian and Brazilian television. He is also author of 30 radio plays.
