Historia
Otto Sander (born 30 June 1941 in Hanover) is a German film, theater, and voice actor.
Sander grew up in Kassel, where he graduated in 1961 from the Friedrichgymnasium. After leaving school he spent his military service as a navy reserve officer and then studied theatre science, history of art and philosophy. In 1965 he made his acting debut at the Düsseldorfer chamber plays. After his first film work in the same year he abandoned his studies in 1967, and went to Munich to become a full-time actor.
He is married to the actress Monika Hansen and is stepfather to the actors Ben Becker and Meret Becker.
His career is closely connected with the Schaubühne theatre in Berlin under the direction of Peter Stein. Because of his warm, strong voice, which earned him the sobriquet "The Voice" (the English term is used), he has been used frequently as narrator for television documentaries, and numerous talking books in the 1990s.
In 1990, he was a member of the Jury at the 40th Berlin International Film Festival.[1]
Among his best-known film roles are the angel Cassiel in Wings of Desire and its sequel Faraway, So Close! by Wim Wenders, and a shell-shocked U-boat commander, Kapitänleutnant Philipp Thomsen, in Wolfgang Petersen's Das Boot. Sander also appeared in Comedian Harmonists, a biopic about the musical group of the same name. He has two brothers, the lawyer Adolf Sander, the scientist Christian (Chris) Sander, and a sister, the book dealer Marianne Sander. He also played a professor in the movie: The Promise about the division of Berlin by the wall.

Self - Das Boot Actor
En 1981, una película sobre las desventuras de la tripulación de un submarino alemán en 1941 se convierte en un éxito mundial casi cuatro décadas después del final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Millones de espectadores en todo el mundo hacen de «El submarino» la película alemana de mayor éxito internacional de todos los tiempos. Con todo, y debido a disputas sobre el guion, accidentes en el plató y voces que acusaban a los realizadores de glorificar la guerra, el proyecto estuvo a punto de ser cancelado en numerosas ocasiones.

Narrator
Two boys (Ken Duken and Luca Verhoeven) try to get into the Munich Disco "Spy", but Dennis, the chief of Disco doesn't allow them to enter the club. This is the whole story - believe it or not, but director and writer Simon Verhoeven made a movie with a runtime of 88 Minutes based on this story. Low budget, but great fun. Nice pictures of Munich, good and intelligent ideas (Floh and Marcel are playing football, while Werner Hansch, a famous german TV-Sport-Presenter, reports their game to the audience)make the movie worth to be seen. Not a revolution, but, as said, it's fun.
Vater Sass
Professor Steinach
Mucho antes que las revueltas de Stonewall y el informe Kinsey, vivió el doctor Magnus Hirschfeld. Siendo un joven judio gay en el Berlín del siglo XIX, Hirschfeld no sólo luchó a favor de los derechos de los gays, sino que fue su descubridor.
Rosa von Praunheim, co-fundadora del movimiento de lucha por los derechos civiles para los gays en Alemania y directora de cine, cuenta la historia de Hirschfeld en un exuberante drama histórico. Enlazando una historia fascinante de descubrimiento y romance con una mordaz afición por la política, Von Praunheim presenta este convincente relato del doctor que fundó el primer grupo político gay en 1897 y la primera institución médica para gays, el reconocido Instituto de Ciencia Sexual, que prosperó hasta la llegada del regimen nazi. En Einstein of Sex (apodo que dio a Hirschfeld la prensa americana) un legendario pionero del sexo se encuentra con un inconformista director para crear juntos una celebración de la historia gay.

Lo primero que llama la atención es la austeridad casi documental con que Schroeter encara la parte inicial del relato, ambientada en un pequeño y paupérrimo pueblo de Sicilia. Schroeter va dando una visión bucólica de esa gente y su tierra, de sus ritos y tradiciones, pero no deja de señalar la miseria y falta de trabajo que los empuja a emigrar a Alemania. Con el viaje de Nicola hacia Wolfsburg, donde está ubicada la fábrica automotriz Wolkswagen, se inicia la segunda parte, tremendamente crítica para con la sociedad alemana, en donde Schroeter va descubriendo paulatinamente signos de indiferencia, violencia y racismo. La tercera y última parte de Desarraigo se concentra en el juicio al que Nicola es sometido, acusado de asesinar a dos hombres. Aquí, poco a poco Schroeter se va desprendiendo del tono realista que imprimió a las dos primeras partes del film y recurre a una puesta en escena operística.

Interdisciplinary studies put into practice is a plane on which HaF's interests and mine coincide. Ideas of fictional research projects in films emerge very early on, or of film as research device, allowing people from different disciplines to come together and discover something, to pursue a line of thought, or just be adventurous. These ideas correspond to a tendency we both have of accumulating knowledge from different sciences, for example so as to bring exact sciences like medicine together with subjects which aren't directly aimed at application, such as religious studies or anthropology.
