Phil Jutzi

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philipp Jutzi , also Piel Jutzi (born July 22, 1896 in Altleiningen , † May 1, 1946 in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse ) was a German cameraman and film director .

Life

The son of a master tailor attended an arts and crafts school after finishing elementary school and self-taught painting attempts. In 1916 he worked as a poster painter for a small cinema in the Black Forest. During the First World War he was unfit for service due to a physical infirmity and was only assigned to "auxiliary services". From 1919 he directed the International Film Industry GmbH (ifi) in Heidelberg , which specialized in detective and Wild West films. In 1923 he married Emmy Philippine Zimmermann, the sister of the actor Holmes Zimmermann , who later became the leading actor in some of his films; in May 1926 a daughter, Gisela, was born.

In 1925 Phil Jutzi went to Berlin, where he came to the communist film cartel Welt-Film through the International Workers' Aid (IAH) , where he shot current events as a cameraman. In 1928/29 the semi-documentary film Um's Daily Bread (Hunger in Waldenburg) was made here under his direction . From 1926 Jutzi worked as a director at the proletarian Prometheus Film , where he was involved in the production of the German sound version of the Soviet film Battleship Potemkin and became the leading director of the "proletarian" film, including the film Mother Krausens Fahrt ins Glück (1929). Films developed. After financial difficulties made a planned film adaptation of Anna Seghers ' novella Aufstand der Fischer von St. Barbara with Asta Nielsen impossible and Jutzi's bitterness grew, at the end of 1929 he resigned from the KPD , of which he had been a member since early 1928.

The change of his first name to the Palatinate dialect form "Piel" (early 1920s) led in 1931 to a lawsuit with the actor and director Harry Piel , who Jutzi lost. Since then he has used the first name "Phil" again.

The completion of the Alfred Döblin film Berlin - Alexanderplatz (1931) with Heinrich George as Franz Biberkopf was followed by a political reorientation. In March 1933 Phil Jutzi joined the NSDAP and two months later also the National Socialist Film Factory Cell Organization (NSBO). Under National Socialism , Jutzi developed into a productive short film director; from 1933 to 1941 he directed no fewer than 49 short films. The production of long feature films was initially not allowed because of his political background. In 1934/35 Jutzi directed the German spy film Lockspitzel Asew with Fritz Rasp and Olga Chekhowa and then in the Austrian spy drama The Cossack and the Nightingale (with Iván Petrovich and Jarmila Novotná ). Jutzi did not become a famous star director and his financial circumstances remained difficult until the end of his life.

In the 1940s, Phil Jutzi's health deteriorated and despite a permanent position as chief cameraman at the Reichspost-Fernseh-Gesellschaft (1942) and an engagement at the Berlin Lex-Film, where Jutzi worked on behalf of the Reichsanstalt für Film und Bild in Science and Education (RWU) should produce some cultural films , largely unable to work. After the end of the Second World War he went back to his homeland Altleiningen , but died the following year.
