Angelina Maccarone

Angelina Maccarone (b. 1965, Cologne) started out writing song lyrics for the German pop star Udo Lindenberg and other singers before her artistic ambitions turned to film. She began as an assistant director and screenwriter. Her films Everything Will Be Fine (Alles wird gut, 1998) and An Angel's Revenge (Engel schlägt zurück, 1998) won a number of awards. Her original film Unveiled (2005), which was presented in competition at the 2005 Karlovy Vary IFF, also achieved international acclaim and won the Hessian Film Award. A drama followed soon after, Hounded (Verfolgt, 2006), which was awarded a Golden Leopard at the IFF in Locarno. Maccarone also works as a television director and teaches direction at the Academy of Film and Television in Berlin. Vivere is her sixth work, again made in cooperation with D. O. P. Judith Kaufmann.
