Uta Briesewitz

Uta Briesewitz (born 1967) is a German cinematographer and television director.

Biography Briesewitz was born in Leverkusen, Germany.

She cultivated a preference for French Nouvelle Vague and Italian cinema at an early age, watching them on German television. In an interview, she recounted that Francois Truffaut's Day for Night, The Story of Adele H and The Man Who Loved Women, were some of the films that made strong impressions on her as a child. Later, Briesewitz considered becoming a painter, but decided it was too isolated as a career.
