Herbert Bruno Fredersdorf (born October 2, 1899 in Magdeburg ; † July 21, 1971 in Alicante , Spain ) was a German film director and film editor .

Life

Herbert B. Fredersdorf, who as a young man belonged to the Magdeburg artists' association "We but", began to work in the field of film editing at the age of 31 . After working for various Berlin production companies, he cut Max Ophüls ' Heinz Rühmann film Lachende Erben for the first time in 1932, a UFA film for which he worked more often from now on, soon also as assistant director and short film director. In addition to Fritz Peter Buch , Fredersdorf himself directed “Liebeslied”, the remake of a film from 1930/31, for the first time in 1935.

In 1938, Fredersdorf directed a full-length feature film for the first time with the Greenland Driver drama Northern Lights . In 1940 the propagandistic mountain hunter film Spähtrupp Hallgarten (with René Deltgen , Paul Klinger and Maria Andergast ) and the crime film Alarm (with Karl Martell , Maria von Tasnady and Paul Klinger) followed, and in 1943/44 another crime film: The perpetrator is among us (with Paul Dahlke and Margot Hielscher ).

Herbert B. Fredersdorf made his most famous film after the end of the Second World War : The 1947/48 feature film Lang ist der Weg , which Fredersdorf made together with the Holocaust survivor Marek Goldstein , is remarkably the only German feature film in the Yiddish language . With Israel Becker , Bettina Moissi , Berta Litwina and Jakob Fischer in the leading roles, the film depicts the lives of the survivors of the Holocaust immediately after the end of the war.

In the 1950s, Fredersdorf turned to fairy tales and homeland films .

His brother Walter Fredersdorf was also a film editor, and occasionally supported Herbert as an assistant director.
