List of founding members of the German Film Academy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hotel Adlon in Berlin, where the founding meeting of the German Film Academy took place

The list of founding members of the German Film Academy includes 89 people. They took part in the founding meeting of the German Film Academy on September 8, 2003 in Berlin and are named as signatories of the statutes adopted there. The list does not include people who were also members of the German Film Academy from the start, but who are not among the signatories of the statutes.

Background to the sections

When the academy was founded, there were nine sections (professional groups), some of which were renamed and supplemented in later years. In 2014, casting was added as a new section, while editing has been a separate section since the 2015 version of the statutes:

Founding members of the German Film Academy

The following table uses the section breakdown from 2003 in column 4, but the current names of the sections (e.g. director instead of director ) in order to better distinguish them from the individual job titles listed in column 3.

The section is named to which the founding member belonged in the first year of the Academy's existence. According to section 3.7 of the statutes, a member of the academy can only belong to one section, even if he is active in several professional fields. A change to another section is permitted, however, so that some of the members listed below may meanwhile belong to another section.

Of the 89 founding members, 68 were men and 21 women. The sortable column 1 is used to illustrate this disparity.
