Life

After the mother before the bombing of World War II from Berlin to Mecklenburg had fled, she returned with Dagmar Beiersdorf and their brother in 1947 back to the city. The father was a soldier in Dagmar Beiersdorf's year of birth, the mother raised the children alone. After graduating from high school, Beiersdorf began studying journalism and theater studies in West Berlin , which she dropped out to work as an assistant director for film. In 1967 she met her ex-fellow student Lothar Lambert , and a decade-long artistic cooperation and personal friendship began. She introduced him to her boyfriend Wolfram Zobus and appeared in Ex und hopp in 1972 , the first full-length film by Lambert and Zobus to be released. She also worked - partly unnamed - in many other works by Lambert, who had directed Zobus from 1976 onwards, as an actress, co-screenwriter, camerawoman or assistant director. Conversely, Lambert is involved in Beiersdorf's films in front of and behind the camera.

Following his example, in 1977 she produced and staged her debut doll kaputt , which - in keeping with the zeitgeist - deals with the emancipation of a woman. Her other works, too, were mostly created with a minimal budget and mostly with friends as (amateur) actors. Because of these production conditions and the direct representation of intimacy, which was unusually direct for the time, they were - like many of Lambert's films - assigned to "underground cinema" . However, Beiersdorf and Lambert only jointly directed once: in 1986 with the comparatively lavish television coproduction Der sexte Sinn . In 1982 Dagmar Beiersdorf's second film Dirty Daughters or Die Hure und der Hurensohn , a drama about a young Berlin prostitute and a Lebanese asylum seeker, was shown at the Berlinale .

In 1992, Beiersdorf directed Eine Tunte zum Dessert , a sequel to Die Wolfsbraut , her last feature film to date. Her last directorial work so far Look who's filming! is a documentary about Lothar Lambert and his films, but inevitably also about her own bio- and filmography. Since the 1990s, Dagmar Beiersdorf has increasingly devoted himself to painting, following her husband Mustafa Iskandarani (artist name: Iskan), who appeared in various strips by her and by Lothar Lambert. Dagmar Beiersdorf lives in Berlin.
