Richard Oswald
Ornstein, Richard W. (Birth name)
director, screenwriter, producer
* 05.11.1880 in Vienna
† 11.09.1963
Because of subject matter dealing with morals and the “sex education films” he made from 1917 to 1919, Oswald’s work takes on special significance in German film history. In 1919 Oswald became an active owner and operator of a movie theatre, and in the mid-1920s, he co-founded the Nero-Film GmbH with Heinrich Nebenzahl. At the start of the 1930s, he turned to contemporary subject matter, now as a sound film director. Oswald was forced to leave Germany in 1933 and emigrated to the United States in 1938.
