Artistic head director
As Artistic Oberleiter were designated in Germany and Austria a film artist who a director was put under a film production project as an artistic "consultant" to the side. Although such “advisors” actually had directing experience and were occasionally even old masters of the subject, it was mostly more a question of the - effective - honorary appointment of a well-known artist than a real collaboration. Since 1960 the term “artistic collaboration” has largely supplanted that of “artistic management”.
