Benjamin Heisenberg (born June 9, 1974 in Tübingen ) is a German director , author and visual artist . He is a grandson of the physicist Werner Heisenberg .

Life

Heisenberg grew up in Reichenberg near Würzburg as the son of the neurobiologist Martin Heisenberg and Apollonia Countess zu Eulenburg, a niece of Carl Friedrich and Richard von Weizsäcker . After graduating from school in 1993, he studied sculpture with Olaf Metzel until 1999 and received his diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich in 2000 . From 1995 to 1997 he worked as an assistant to Walter Grasskamp at the chair for art history at the academy. At the end of his studies in 2000, Heisenberg received the Debutant Prize , which is awarded to the best three students in a year. From 1997 he studied feature film directing at the University of Television and Film Munich until he graduated in 2005 with the script for his feature film Sleeper . In 2005, Schläfer was invited to the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes International Film Festival .

In 2010 he received an invitation to the competition of the 60th Berlin Film Festival for his feature film The Robber , which is about the life of the Austrian criminal Johann Kastenberger . He also won the Bavarian Film Prize in the Best Young Director category and the Austrian Film Prize, which was awarded for the first time in 2011 . In 2014 he was invited to the Panorama Special series of the 64th Berlin Film Festival for his first comedy Über-Ich und Du .

Together with Christoph Hochhäusler and Sebastian Kutzli he founded the film magazine Revolver in 1998 and is still co-editor of the magazine with Christoph Hochhäusler, Jens Börner , Franz Müller , Marcus Seibert , Nicolas Wackerbarth and Saskia Walker .

Stylistically, he is mostly attributed to the Berlin School .

Benjamin Heisenberg, together with his brother Emanuel Heisenberg and Elisophie Eulenburg, realized an art-in-building work for the NS Documentation Center (Munich) , which opened on April 30, 2015 . The focus of the work is on filmic text-image collages on key documents from the Nazi era. The films are shown on an installation of monitors in the outside area around the NS Documentation Center (NSD). The text passages are original documents by perpetrators and victims. They reflect the perspectives of known and unknown actors of the Nazi era and are partly related to the exhibition location, the former " Brown House " in Munich, hence the title Brienner 45 .
