Bartl Seyr

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bartl Seyr (born April 3, 1890 in Vahrn , † April 29, 1955 in Munich ; born Bartholomäus Franz Seyr ) was an Austrian cameraman .

Seyr worked as a photographer since 1908 and lived in Germany since 1911. From 1914 to 1916 he was a war photographer on the Western Front during the First World War.

His preoccupation with film began when he was commissioned by the Bavarian War Ministry to produce propaganda films for the benefit of the war loan . During the war, director Franz Seitz senior took him over as cameraman for his Heimatfilme, which was set in Bavaria.

In the following years, the Munich- based Seyr also worked for other directors, often as a co-cameraman. Some of his late films ( Shock Troop 1917 , Um das Menschenrecht ) are influenced by National Socialist ideas. In 1936 Seyr suffered a stroke that severely impaired his creativity.
