Live and act

Baldenius studied theater studies , German and journalism before turning to television and in 1966 joining the first class of the German Film and Television Academy in Berlin . His graduation film was Saturday, the 1st , which he also wrote and directed and which received the rating "particularly valuable" from the Wiesbaden film evaluation center (FBW).

With the dawn of the 1970s, Baldenius was regularly used for television productions and sporadically also directed. His camera work for the productions by Wolfgang Petersen , with whom he has worked closely since 1967, caused a sensation . These include such highly acclaimed productions as Smog (shot in 1972), the crime scene crime thriller Reifezeugnis (shot in 1976) and the gay drama The Consequence from 1977. After the end of this fruitful collaboration (1978 with black and white like days and nights ) , along with Petersen's move to cinema, Baldenius was hardly active as a cameraman. What Baldenius did in the 1980s is not known. After the last return to the crime scene in 1990, he disappeared from the public eye.

Jörg-Michael Baldenius lives in Ottobeuren in Bavaria .
