Along with Werner Herzog, Wim Wenders and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, he is considered a part of the New German Cinema, of the late 1960`s and early 70`s. Schlondorff`s films are, however, singular within this group, in part because of his style, but also in virtue of his choice of material. The majority of Schlondorff`s films are adaptations of literary works, including those of Marcel Proust, Heinrich von Kleist, Gunter Grass, Arthur Miller, Max Frisch, and others. Schlondorff has also focused on WWII, its build-up and consequences, and on the communist insurrections of the 1960`s and 70`s, especially in The Lost Honour of Katarina Blum (1975), Germany in Autumn (1978) and The Legend of Rita (2000). • • In 1979 Tin Drum was awarded the Palme d`Or, and the Oscar for best Foreign Film. The year before, Schlondorff shared the Special recognition Award from the Berlin Film Festival. In 2002, Schlondorff received La Legion d`Honneur, and in 2004, an Honorary Award, at the Bavarian Film Awards. In 2009, he was presented with the Carl Zucker Medal. Also in 2009, Schlondorff accepted a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Camrimage, the International Film Festival of the Art of Cinematography. With Peter Flieschmann, in 1969, Schlondorff founded a production company, called Halleluyah Film. In 1973, he co-founded Bishop Film, which is still in existence today. Since 1992, Schlondorff has acted as the chief executive of Studio Babelsberg, in Germany, which is the oldest large-scale movie studio in the world.
