Biography
Andreas Dresen (b. 1963, Gera, Germany) has developed an exceptional style of filmmaking. He began as an amateur in his field, and then studied at the Konrad Wolf Film Academy in Potsdam-Babelsberg. His films penetrate to the heart of people’s problems, which he looks upon with great empathy and sense of humour. His Cloud 9 (Wolke 9, 2008), awarded in Cannes, is an example of this, as is the film Whisky with Vodka (Whisky mit Wodka, 2009), which won Best Director at the Karlovy Vary IFF in 2009. Dresen’s debut film Silent Country (Stilles Land, 1992) was selected for the competition at Karlovy Vary; his subsequent works were also highly acclaimed, such as Grill Point (Halbe Treppe), which competed at the Berlinale in 2001. Stopped on Track was screened at the Cannes IFF in the Un Certain Regard section, where the jury, headed by Emir Kusturica, gave it the main award.
