Manfred Hulverscheidt (*1951 in Aachen / Germany, lives in Berlin) studied at the Deutsche Film- und Fernsehakademie in Berlin and has made numerous experimental and documentary films since the early 1980s. Since the late 1980s, his cinematic work has increasingly focused on political, social, and historical themes, seeking to combine a poetic approach with objective content and oscillating between documentary and fiction. In recent years, Hulverscheidt has conceived and realized various documentaries that have been presented at film festivals and on television.
