Rudolf Dworsky (* 1882 in Germany ; † July 6, 1927 in Perleberg ) was a German set designer , film architect , film producer , film director and longtime technical director of Max Reinhardt's Berlin theater productions and productions.
Life
Nothing is currently known about Dworsky's education. In 1908 he joined Max Reinhardt's Deutsches Theater, where he has been the technical director of numerous productions since the beginning of 1909 - for the first time in a Faust production. While Dworsky was initially involved in various Shakespeare performances, including Hamlet , A Midsummer Night's Dream and The Merchant of Venice in 1909 alone , Dworsky later (since World War I ) also took part in modern plays such as The Miracle and Wallenstein's Death (both 1915) , Judith (1917), Hanneles Himmelfahrt and Die Macht der Finsternis (both 1918), Fool's Game of Life, From Morning to Midnight and Die Wupper (all 1919). Until the beginning of 1922 Dworsky can be proven as a permanent employee of Reinhardt.
During his intensive theater work, Dworsky came across the film as a producer in the middle of the First World War in 1916. From 1918 to 1921 he was active in this function for the company “Amboß-Film Dworsky & Co”, of which he was the owner with Arthur Wellin , which was renamed “Ambos-Film GmbH”. From 1922 until his untimely death in 1927, Rudolf Dworsky produced Rudolf Walther-Feins and Gabriel Levys for Althoff-Amboss-Film AG , where he was also the artistic director. In one case (the 1923 film adaptation of Wilhelm Tell ) Dworsky also took part in directing the film.
Dworsky died in Perleberg in 1927 as a result of a car accident he had recently suffered. Obituaries have been dedicated to him in various specialist publications.
