Paul L. Stein
Paul Ludwig Stein( 4 February 1892 – 2 May 1951) was an Austrian- born film director with 67 films to his credit.
Stein began his career in Berlin in 1918 and worked exclusively in the German silent film industry until 1926, when he first went to Hollywood, and spent the next five years commuting between Germany and the U.S., where he worked with stars such as Jeanette MacDonald, Lillian Gish and Constance Bennett.
In 1931, Stein relocated to England after gaining a contract with British International Pictures, where he was assigned a number of big- name prestige productions, including some of the popular operetta films of the mid-1930s.
These included" Blossom Time" and" Heart's Desire" starring his boyhood friend Richard Tauber, who also made cameo appearances in two of his post-war films" Waltz Time" and" Lisbon Story".
For most his career, Stein's credits tended to be films primarily aimed at female audiences, although later he also directed crime and spy thrillers.
Stein remained in England for the rest of his life and career, becoming a British citizen in 1938.
Kim Ki-young
Kim Ki-young
( October 10, 1919 – February 5, 1998) was a South Korean film director, known for his intensely psychosexual and melodramatic horror films, often focusing on the psychology of their female characters.
Kim was born in Seoul during the colonial period, raised in Pyongyang, where he became interested in theater and cinema.
In Korea after the end of World War II, he studied dentistry while becoming involved in the theater.
During the Korean War, he made propaganda films for the United States Information Service.
In 1955, he used discarded movie equipments to produce his first two films.
With the success of these two films Kim formed his own production company and produced popular melodramas for the rest of the decade.
Kim
Ki-young's first expression of his mature style was in his" The Housemaid"( 1960), which featured a powerful" femme fatale" character.
It is widely considered to be one of the best Korean films of all time.
After a" Golden Age" during the 1960s, the 1970s were a low- point in the history of Korean cinema because of governmental censorship and a decrease in audience attendance.
Nevertheless, working independently, Kim produced some of his most eccentric cinematic creations in this era.
Films such as" Insect Woman"( 1972) and" Iodo"( 1977) were successful at the time and highly influential on the younger generations of South Korean filmmakers both at their time of release, and with their rediscovery years later.
By the 1980s, Kim's popularity had gone into decline, and his output decreased in the second half of the decade.
Neglected by the mainstream during much of the 1990s, Kim became a cult figure in South Korean film Internet forums in the early 1990s.
Widespread international interest in his work was stimulated by a career retrospective at the 1997 Pusan International Film Festival.
He was preparing a comeback film when he and his wife were killed in a house fire in 1998.
The Berlin International Film Festival gave Kim a posthumous retrospective in 1998, and the French Cinémathèque screened 18 of Kim's films, some newly rediscovered and restored, in 2006.
Through the efforts of the Korean Film Council( KOFIC), previously lost films by Kim Ki- young continue to be rediscovered and restored.
Many current prominent South Korean filmmakers, including directors Im Sang- soo, Kim Ki-duk, Bong Joon- ho and Park Chan- wook, claim Kim Ki- young as an influence on their careers.
