Alfons Stummer
Alfons Stummer (born January 6, 1924 in Vienna , Austria ; † November 17, 2014 there ) was an Austrian cultural film producer, assistant director and film director.
Live and act
Shortly after the end of the Second World War, Stummer studied medicine, psychology and theater studies and worked as a journalist at the University of Vienna. Then he joined the film as a volunteer. In the early 1950s he produced and directed short documentary and cultural films for Rondo-Filmproduktions-GmbH Vienna such as Albrecht Dürer, the great woodcut passion , healing sources and transport in the company , in whose script he was also involved, two of which in 1952 were also presented at the Cannes and Venice Film Festivals.
In 1954, Stummer switched to directing feature films and already had an outstanding success with his debut Echo der Berge , which was launched in Germany under the much better-known title Der Förster vom Silberwald , with which the main actor Rudolf Lenz suddenly became the new Heimatfilm star. After only one more homeland film director, he hardly received any more commissions. In 1959 and 1960 he had to be content with two assistant directors, his last work as a director he presented in 1964 with the speculative trash and exploitation film The Satan with the Red Hair . After that he no longer worked as a feature film director.
