Konrad Petzold (26 April 1930, Radebeul - 12 November 1999, Kleinmachnow) was a German film director, writer, and actor.[1]

Biography

Born the youngest of six children in a poor family, he was the son of a worker and a housewife. After an internship at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (FAMU), he shot his first feature film in Czechoslovakia in 1955, a comedy called The Fools Among Us. His next film was an adventure film, A Dog in the Marsh, which brought him national recognition, especially among young people.[citation needed] However his next movie The Dress (1961), based on "The Emperor's New Clothes", was accused of hidden political satire, and he was temporarily dismissed from the profession.[2]

Petzold, along with other directors such as Konrad Wolf, Heiner Carow, and Egon Günther, were part of the so-called "second DEFA generation" born in East Germany between 1920 and 1930.[3]

In 1969, Petzold shot the first of five "american-indian films" (. After Gottfried Kolditz died suddenly on an aneurysm on 15 June 1982, Petzold directed his film Der Scout (The Scout), released 1983.[4]
