Under the direction of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, he appeared in “Martha” (1973), “Fontane Effi Briest” (1974) and “Mother Küster’s Trip to Heaven” (1975). A recipient of the German “Filmband in Gold” (1983), Karlheiz Böhm was awarded the Balzan Prize for Humanity, Peace and Brotherhood among Peoples (the largest monetary prize of its kind) in November 2007 for his untiring efforts for the people of Ethiopia. Otto Sander Berlin actor, radio play and voice artist Otto Sander was awarded the Berlinale Camera during the Film Festival 2008 for his great services to film and his many memorable performances over the years. He was awarded on February 15 at 9:30 p.m. in the Filmpalast. Bruno Ganz spoke in his honor. To mark the occasion, his film “Z.B.... Otto Spalt” (1988) by René Perraudin was shown afterwards. Successful on the stage in the 1960s and 1970s, Otto Sander achieved international acclaim above all with his portrayal of the angel Cassiel in “Wings of Desire” (1987) by Wim Wenders and submarine captain Philipp Thomsen in “The Boat” (1981) by Wolfgang Petersen. Following stints at the Freie Volksbühne Berlin under the direction of Claus Peymann and Berlin’s Schaubühne am Halleschen Ufer under the direction of Peter Stein, Otto Sander could be seen in “The Marquise of O by Éric Rohmer” (1976) and “The Tin Drum” (1979) by Volker Schlöndorff. © Preems.com |
