Live and act
Ulrich Kayser, about whose origins little is known, had completed a university degree with a doctorate and began his film work in 1920 at the UFA's cultural film department . In the following four decades he directed a plethora of mostly short industrial, documentary and commercials. While Kayser's film trips in the Weimar Republic took him to Macedonia , the Orient and Ceylon , in the Third Reich he had to be content with commissions within the Reich, and he shot cityscapes of Munich and Frankfurt am Main as well as landscape portraits of Franconia , the Weserland and several areas of former Austria annexed since 1938.
His best-known and most complex work was created between 1941 and 1943 under wartime conditions in collaboration with Tr. Georg Wittuhn , when he directed the medium-length documentary The Will to Live on behalf of the main office for film of the NSDAP and thus provided information about medical services and progress in medicine for war wounded. After the war, Kayser continued his documentary work in West Germany and later in the Federal Republic. For example, in 1948/49 he was the director of the almost one-hour VW advertising film in Wolfsburg with scenes from the game Little Cars - Big Love . In 1951 he shot with Fiery Wedding. A symphony in steel and iron "the first color film of the German coal and steel industry". Ulrich Kayser was most recently based in Düsseldorf as a documentarist and worked for the company Kultur- und Wirtschaftsfilm GmbH, which is based there.
