Life

After graduating from high school, Dieter Berner attended the Reinhardt Seminar in Vienna and Berlin, and then worked as an actor at the Vienna Volkstheater for two years . In 1968 he founded his own theater group, the Theater der Courage in Vienna, together with the actor Werner Prinz and the director Wolfgang Quetes . The troupe dealt with contemporary authors and worked as a collective according to the principles of codetermination theater . This was followed by study stays at the Schaubühne am Halleschen Ufer in Berlin with Peter Stein , theater productions in Kassel, at the Theater am Neumarkt in Zurich, onAkademietheater and at the Volkstheater in Vienna. Since 1973 Dieter Berner has worked mainly as a film director, he also writes scripts and plays in movies, a. a. starred in the film The Seventh Continent by Michael Haneke .

Dieter Berner became known nationwide as a film director with the six films of the award-winning Alpine saga, a family and village chronicle developed with the authors Peter Turrini and Wilhelm Pevny , which has set standards for Austria's identity. With the TV four-part series about the 1849 Lenz revolution or freedom based on the novel of the same name by Stefan Heym and with the four films of the workers saga , made between 1985 and 1991, Dieter Berner continued his line of describing history from the perspective from below. While the poster and the seduction take place in the years 1945 and 1961 in Austria's end-of-war phase and in the early 1960s, the other two parts of the workers saga , Müllomania and Das Lachen der Maca Darac, are depictions from 1986 and 1991, respectively, which Austria as show a “surreal scandal republic”. "The adventure of coping with the life of the so-called little people, the struggle for better living conditions appears to him as the driving moment of every story and of history in general".

Since 1983 Dieter Berner has taught film directing and screenwriting at various film academies in Vienna, Munich and Berlin. From 2004 to 2009 he taught in Potsdam on the premises of the media city Babelsberg as a university professor at the University of Film and Television "Konrad Wolf" , where under his direction - in a new technique of collective scene creation he developed - the two internationally acclaimed feature films Berliner Reigen and sickness of youth arose. In 2016 he directed the feature film Egon Schiele: Death and the Maiden with Valerie Pachner as Wally Neuzil, Maresi Riegner as Schiele's sister Gerti and Noah Saavedra as Egon Schiele.
