Christoph Schlingensief belongs to the record of cinema as a figure whose work outlasted the productions that carried it.
The record lists Christoph Schlingensief as German theatre and film director, playwright, and performance artist (1960-2010).
Christoph Schlingensief was born at Oberhausen in 1960. His recorded nationality is Germany.
By this period cinema was global and fragmented: independent finance, festival circuits and television drama competing for the same talent.
The record gives his roles in the industry as film director, university teacher and theatre director.
Film is a collaborative art in which individual credit is always contested and occasionally deserved.
That the work was made from Germany shaped it: national industries differ in what they finance, who they cast and which audiences they can reach.
Christoph Schlingensief died in 2010, aged 50. The films remain, which is the only form in which a screen career survives.
