Leo Tichat
Leo Tichat (born August 31, 1930 in Mödling , Austria ; † March 15, 2012 in Djerba , Tunisia ) was an Austrian artist (painter, designer, set and costume designer, filmmaker and writer).
The trained upholsterer and car upholsterer completed his diploma (painting, graphics and stage design) at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna in 1951. He made study trips to the south and west of Europe, Brazil, Peru and North America.
In addition to his screenplay work, he also wrote poetry and prose, a selection of which appeared in 1975 under the title "Sol fuerte y Sangre".
He worked a lot with the film director and screenwriter Herbert Vesely , with whom he was also friends. His (only) film "Die Verwundbaren", made in 1964, was not shown in Austria for a long time because it was frowned upon as a " scandal film ". (The distributor cut a few sexually explicit scenes into their own film and released it in 1969 under the title “Angel of Lust”.) It was only since the 1990s that it was rediscovered as a “cult film” and celebrated as the first and only Austrian Nouvelle Vague film.
