Andreas Jacket, born in Rietberg in 1966 , studied film studies and philosophy mainly at the Free University of Berlin and received his doctorate in 2002 on " Marilyn Monroe and Psychoanalysis " with Gertrud Koch and Friedrich Kittler , as a second reviewer. He is an author, director (radio plays, films) and small actor, especially in commercials, but mainly works as a freelance film scholar.

Jacket writes books in the context of film, psychoanalysis and philosophy ( post-structuralism , Frankfurt School ), which often contain a biographical level of interpretation. He subjected the artistic personalities of David Bowie , Marilyn Monroe and Rainer Werner Fassbinder to a psychoanalytic interpretation. However, many of his publications are also shaped by the philosophy of Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida . Production backgrounds, literary templates and references to film history are also heavily taken into account. With his studies of the James Bond films and the TV series Sherlock , Jacket analyzed two British series heroes and their literary roots. He also writes reviews on a regular basis, including for literaturkritik.de . He had several teaching positions at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and at the Filmarche in Berlin, he regularly gives lectures at psychoanalytic institutes, in film seminars, at the Mannheim Film Symposium and at the Urania (Berlin) .
