Birthe Templin grew up in Northern Germany and Argentina. After finishing high school I moved to England to study at the London Film Academy. Through an EU scholarship, the EKRAN Programm, I was able to further my knowledge at the Andzrej Wajda Master School of Film Directing in Warsaw. My first short feature film “Lübbos Wife Is Waiting” was shown at many festivals world wide, had a television screening and won the European young Director Award in Vendome, France. Short films and short documentaries followed. In my first, long documentary “What Remains: the Inner-familial Effects of the Third Reich” are examined and traced into the present. In addition to festival screenings and some cinema dirstribution in Berlin, the movie is shown in the media centres of the most important Holocaust memorials around the world.
