Heinrich Fueter
Heinrich Fueter (pronounced [fuətər] ; born February 17, 1911 in Zurich ; † October 13, 1979 ibid) was a Swiss film producer .
Career
Heinrich Fueter initially embarked on a military career and studied law up to his doctorate . At the age of 26 he found a job with the film production company ' Praesens-Film ', where he was entrusted with organizational tasks. In 1938, Heinrich Fueter not only worked as a military advisor in the military training film “ Füsilier Wipf ” , but also appeared for the first time as a production manager. After three feature films, in 1941 he switched to the ' Gloria-Film ' run by the German producer Günther Stapenhorst , for which, in the position of commercial director, he took over the development and management of the Bellerive studio in 1942 .
In the summer of 1947, Fueter founded his own production company, ' Condor-Film AG ', with start-up capital of 100,000 francs . The company was rarely able to produce feature films in the early years due to the tight capital base. Rather, Heinrich Fueter concentrated on the production of ambitious advertising, industrial, educational and documentary films. Numerous Swiss directors such as B. Max Haufler were only able to survive in their profession thanks to Fueters awarding the contract. From 1956 to 1960 Heinrich Fueter expanded his company with a branch in Germany ( Munich ).
In 1966 he finally withdrew from the production business and handed over management of the company to his two sons. Heinrich Fueter was married to the actress Anne-Marie Blanc .
