Donatello Dubini
Donatello Dubini (19 July 1955 in Zurich – 26 March 2011 in Cologne) was a Swiss director and documentary filmmaker. He directed his films in close collaboration with his brother Fosco Dubini.[1]
Biography
He studied at the Film Academy in Vienna from 1975 to 1977, then film studies at the University of Cologne from 1979. He wrote his master's thesis on the documentary filmmaker Richard Dindo.[2]
He made his first documentary film, *Gösgen* (a film about the Gösgen nuclear power plant) together with his brother in 1978. This was followed by documentaries about the missing Italian physicist Ettore Majorana, the nuclear spy Klaus Fuchs and the Bavarian fairytale king Ludwig II. With later works, the Dubini brothers turned increasingly towards cinema and art themes, making documentaries about the actress Jean Seberg, the writer Thomas Pynchon and the actress Hedy Lamarr.[1][3]
In 2001, both filmed the travel diary of Annemarie Schwarzenbach under the title The Journey to Kafiristan.[4]
His last film, *The Great Inheritance*, revolved around the story of the Dubini family, and was presented at the 46th Solothurn Film Festival shortly before his death.
Dubini was a founding member of the Cologne Filmhaus and a member of the filmmaker and distribution initiative "Der Andere Blick".[5]
