MASTERCLASS SCHAUSPIEL: ULRICH MATTHES

They are the most important connection between fiction and an audience: actors. They offer identification to the viewers, draw attention to a film project and motivate people to come to the cinema. From stage to silver screen to digital formats – the job may change constantly, but the challenge of developing a convincing presence in your acting stays the same.

These changes, as well as his own career of course, will be subjects the president of the German Film Academy Ulrich Matthes will address personally. For decades now Matthes is one of Germany’s most renowned actors: Both at home in the domestic and in the international film industry, he is also a prolific stage presence and voice actor. In this year’s FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE program, he can be seen in a starring role in Sebastian Ko’s GEBORGTES WEISS.
