Kurt Kodal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Kodal (born September 17, 1924 in Vienna ; † January 19, 1989 ibid) was an Austrian camera assistant , film production manager and film producer .

Kodal received his film training shortly after the Second World War, soon joined the entourage of the Viennese director Franz Antel and began his career at the age of 30 as one of Antel's camera assistants (in the historical biography Spionage , 1954/55). Together with his colleague Hanns Matula , Kurt Kodal worked in this capacity on a large number of Antel productions until the end of the decade. While Matula was promoted to chief cameraman in 1961, Kodal remained an assistant until 1964 (most recently with Axel von Ambesser's Willy and Thomas Fritsch clothes I learned that from dad ) and then briefly moved to the second cameraman or simple cameraman (for Rolf Olsen's Wild West Story HOT blows the wind , 1964, and Antels Krambambuli remake Call of the Forests , 1965).

Finally Kodal switched to the production area and served Antel as production manager or producer, especially for the woman-landlady costume strips, which were quite successful at the box office because of their soft sex elements. In later years Kodal worked several times for Austrian television and was a production manager, among others, in 1981 in Axel Corti's much-praised production, An uns believes God no longer involved. He ended his career in 1986 as a co-producer of Antels in the Babelsberg DEFA -Studios created, lavishly designed and conventional musician biography Johann Strauss - the king without a crown .
