Florian Trenker
Florian Trenker , also performed as Floriano Trenker in Italian productions , (* December 18, 1930 in Berlin ; † April 2003 in Germering , Federal Republic of Germany ) was a German-Italian cameraman with sporadic excursions into other cinematic areas (editing, presentation, direction, Recording and production management).
Live and act
The son of the legendary South Tyrolean alpinist and filmmaker Luis Trenker and his wife Hilda von Bleichert (1903–1988) came to film through his father. Since the beginning of the 1950s he has been using him as a cameraman for his mostly short, documentary nature films in and about South Tyrol. Occasionally Trenker junior took care of the film editing, in his father's feature film Gold from Glaciers in 1956 Florian could also be seen as an actor. According to a Spiegel report , he was said to have been involved in a counterfeit money affair this year . Two years later he was sentenced in Italy to a fine equivalent to DM 3,350 for attempting to import a car from Germany to Italy without customs clearance.
After the camera assistant under Albert Benitz camera work for Luis Trenker's color and homeland film Weather Lights around Maria (1957), Florian initially went his own way, left his adopted city of Munich and worked in Rome in the 1960s and 1970s. Mostly Italianized as "Floriano Trenker", Trenker has been behind the camera in several conventional entertainment films - action strips, agent stories, spaghetti westerns and war films - but also participated in several highly speculative " Mondo " and " Sexy " films by Mino Loys . At the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s, father and son Trenker renewed their collaboration on further, mostly short, documentary films about the mountains of South Tyrol and Switzerland (Matterhorn). After his father's death in 1990, the eldest son Luis Trenker took care of the father's estate and published (together with Stefan König ) a book about him in 1992, "Bera Luis - The Luis Trenker Phenomenon". Florian Trenker died in spring 2003 in his place of residence in Germering near Munich.
