Life

Juliane Lorenz was born under the name Juliane Maria Ketterer as the daughter of the laboratory assistant Wilhelm Waizmann and the tailor (and later dubbing cutter) Frieda Ketterer and grew up first in Hinterzarten in the Black Forest, then in Stuttgart, Wiesbaden and Munich. Her mother's marriage to the cultural film director Dieter Lorenz gave her the name Lorenz in 1961. After her mother's divorce in 1970, she lived in Bad Wörishofen and went to the Marien-Gymnasium in nearby Kaufbeuren . After a short break from attending school after completing secondary school, she completed an internship in a film printing plant in Munich and then decided to continue attending school. In 1974 she began studying at the Munich School of Politics and at the same time learned the technical basics of film editing from Margot von Schlieffen .

In 1975 she edited the first films for Ernst Batta , in 1976 she worked as Ila von Hasperg's assistant in the editing and setting of Rainer Werner Fassbinder's film Chinese Roulette . From the encounter with Fassbinder a working group developed that lasted until his death in 1982 and comprised a total of 14 films. In the last years of Fassbinder's life there was also a relationship between him and Juliane Lorenz. Occasionally she appeared in his films as an actress in small roles. According to Lorenz 'information, both performed an unauthorized marriage ceremony in Fort Lauderdale ( Florida ) in 1978 .

Fassbinder's inheritance then passed to his parents after his death in 1982. Fassbinder's mother Liselotte Eder transferred her inheritance in 1986 to the Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation , a non-profit estate company mbH (RWFF), which she had founded ; Fassbinder's father, Helmuth Fassbinder, had himself paid out in 1988, which means that his inheritance was also transferred to the RWFF. In 1991 Liselotte Eder transferred all of the shares in RWFF to Juliane Lorenz, who has been the sole shareholder and managing director since 1992. When Liselotte Eder died in 1993, Juliane Lorenz became her sole heir and thus legal successor to her and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

In 1992 she initiated the first German Fassbinder complete retrospective in Germany, which was followed in 1997 by the first complete retrospective in the USA at the Museum of Modern Art , New York, and in 2005, on his 60th birthday, a first complete retrospective and exhibition at the Center Georges Pompidou in Paris . Under her overall management, more than 30 of the 43 Fassbinder films have been restored to date and transferred to modern data carriers for worldwide new distribution.

After Fassbinder's death, Lorenz continued to work as an editor (with Werner Schroeter , Teresa Villaverde , Romuald Karmakar , Oskar Roehler, among others ) and, since 1983, as an author and director of documentary films. In addition, she is a publicist, u. a. The normal chaos (1995), In the Land of the Apple Tree (2002), and writes film-specific essays and articles. She has received awards for her work as an editor; Most recently, during the Filmplus 2013 film festival in Cologne, she received the Geissendörfer Honorary Award for her life's work. Lorenz is in demand around the world as a specialist in the Fassbinderwerk and is invited to RWF retrospectives and seminars by renowned institutions and universities. She is a member of the German Film Academy and the European Film Academy and board member of the Friends of the German Film Institute (DIF) in Frankfurt.

Lorenz, who mainly lived in the USA from 1995 to 2005 for private and professional reasons, now has her center of life in Berlin, where the Rainer Werner Fassbinder Foundation is also based.

In 2012 it became known that Lorenz had also been designated as heiress in her will by the internationally known film and theater actress Rosel Zech , who had played the leading role in Fassbinder's successful film Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss .

controversy

In 2007, in the 25th year of Fassbinder's death, the restored television series Berlin Alexanderplatz was shown at the Berlinale . A group of former Fassbinder employees accused Lorenz and the RWFF of having lightened the film in digital scanning for commercial reasons. The artistic director of the restoration, original cameraman Xaver Schwarzenberger , rejected the allegations. The author Tilman Jens stated in the television program Kulturzeit that the incriminating allegations against Lorenz were false.
