Directors Biography
Michael Glawogger is a director, writer and cinematographer and his work in each of these roles displays a broad spectrum. Glawogger was born in Graz, Austria, in 1959. He is a traveling filmmaker. Not only does he literally journey around the world for his documentaries, he also moves back and forth between forms and genres, between photography and writing, between gentler and more forceful tones. He graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute and the Vienna Film Academy and has since worked as a director, writer, and cinematographer in Vienna, Bangkok, and Znojmo. His recent works range from the literary adaptation Kill Daddy Good Night (2009) and the quirky comedies Slugs (2004) and Contact High (2009) to his essayist documentaries Whore's Glory (2011), Megacities (2009) and Workingman's Death (2004).
