Heidi Genée
Heidi Genée (born October 22, 1938 in Berlin , † September 26, 2005 in Munich ) was a German film editor and director .
Heidi Genée was the daughter of the director Fritz Genschow , from whom she also learned the film trade from 1956 to 1959. Then she worked as an assistant director and editor. After coming into contact with the Schamoni brothers, she began working on their films. She cut Peter Schamoni's brutality into stone and closed season for foxes as well as Ulrich Schamoni's Es , All Years Again , Quartet in Bed and One . Along with Peter Przygodda and Juliane Lorenz, she was one of the most important editors of the New German Cinema . In the following years she worked on films by Peter Lilienthal , Bernhard Sinkel , Hark Bohm and Maximilian Schell .
In 1976 she switched to directing with the film Grete Minde . Since this step was already unusual, it was even more unusual for a director of New German Films to give actors like Käthe Haack or Hilde Sessak from " Opas Kino " roles in their films. Because their stories did not always match the zeitgeist, most of their films had only moderate success. Heidi Genée mainly worked for television in the 1980s and 1990s .
