Christian Rein

Born in Munich, Christian Rein started as a trainee at Arri and has been working as a cinematographer since 2000. His debut feature film Wholetrain (2006) earned him top recognition in Germany and abroad, winning the Grimme Award for Best Cinematography and a nomination at the renowned Camerimage Festival in Poland for Best European Debut. This success launched Rein's feature film career and led to works on numerous feature and television films, including "My Mother, The Bride and I" for which he won the German Camera Award.

Rein established a longterm working relationship with Love, Rosie director Christian Ditter, shooting all of Ditter's feature directorial efforts, including Love, Rosie and Wickie and the Treasure of the Gods. The latter was the first German feature film to be shot in real 3D, sparking the interest of 3D pioneer Wim Wenders. This led to a collaboration with Wenders on commercials and numerous workshops, as well as the forthcoming documentary series "Cathedrals of Culture" for which Rein shot Wenders' episode about the Berlin Philharmonic.
