Emil Schünemann (born April 18, 1882 in Berlin , † May 26, 1964 in Rangsdorf ) was a German cameraman .

Life

He went through photography training and started working as a cameraman for Deutsche Mutoscop in 1903. Among other things, he shot the early film adaptation of the Titanic catastrophe In Nacht und Eis in 1912 . During the First World War he served as a front camera operator.

After the end of the war he worked with directors such as Otto Rippert and Fritz Lang . In 1924 he photographed the Soviet film Aelita in Moscow , in 1926/27 he was behind the camera in East Asia for Georg Jacoby's two-part film The Woman Without a Name and in India in 1928 for the drama Die Schicksalswürfel .

In the 1930s, Schünemann increasingly lost its importance, and after 1936 it was hardly ever used. From 1945 to 1948 he ran his own photo studio in Berlin, and in 1950 he returned to film. He made his last films as a cameraman for DEFA .
