Stephan Zacharias is a composer, based in Hamburg. In a conversation earlier this year with Variety’s Ed Meza, he shared some stories from his career – how he became a composer for film and television, working with the late and legendary German film producer Bernd Eichinger on both ‘Vera Bruhne’ (2001), for television and ‘Downfall’ (2004) directed by Oliver Hirshbiegel. The film, starring Bruno Ganz, Alexandra Maria Lara, Thomas Kretschmann, Christian Berkel and many other renowned actors/actresses from the German cinema industry, was nomined for Best Foreign Language film at the 2005 Oscars. He also discussed film composers in Germany and abroad, who he continues to appreciate. GlobeScreen Podcasts would like to thank Barbara Auinger, for providing translations from German to English.
