life and work
Huntgeburth grew up in a Catholic family of doctors with nine siblings in Paderborn . In 1977 she began to study film at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg . In 1983 she graduated with a scholarship of the DAAD in Sydney film. Even during her studies she worked on various scripts, assisted in theater direction and worked as a camerawoman and film technician. Initially she worked as a documentary filmmaker. Her first feature film, Im Kreise der Lieben , produced for NDR , won the Federal Film Prize in gold for best young directors. Hermine Huntgeburth's style is characterized by laconic humor and the exploration of the boundaries between the everyday and the grotesque, as seen, for example, in the film The Trio with a gay pickpocket as the main character. Many of her films depict love turning into hate or indifference. In the Ingrid Noll film The Rooster is Dead , love suddenly turns into a lust for murder, brothers become enemies in the hour of the wolf . In the TV film Das Verflixte 17. Jahr the couple discovered after 17 years, when the children were already big, that there was nothing left of their love. Her film The White Massai with Nina Hoss in the leading role is a film adaptation of a novel by Corinne Hofmann and shows the difficulties of love in completely different cultural backgrounds. Her Mark Twain films Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huck Finn were released in 2011 and 2012 by Majestic Filmverleihe . Hermine Huntgeburth is a supporter of the ProQuote Regie initiative .
Huntgeburth teaches regularly at the International Film School in Cologne .
