Wim Wenders

Wim Wenders was born in 1945 in Düsseldorf, the son of a surgeon. After studies in medicine and philosophy that he soon abandoned, he left in 1966 for Paris, where he failed the entrance examination of the national film school, learned engraving and watched up to five films a day. Back in Germany, he entered the Munich University of Television and Film and wrote reviews. A photographer as much as a filmmaker, he taught from the early 2000s at the fine arts school in Hamburg.
