André Hunebelle

biography:
André Hunebelle (1 September 1896 – 27 November 1985) was a French maître verrier (master glassmaker) and film director.

After attending polytechnic school for mathematics, he became a decorator, a designer, and then a master glass maker in the mid-1920s (first recorded exhibition PARIS 1927 included piece "Fruit & Foliage"). His work is known for its clean lines, which are elegant and singularly strong. He exhibited his own glass in a luxurious store located at 2 Avenue Victor-Emmanuel III, at the roundabout of the Champs Èlysées in Paris. Etienne Franckhauser, who also made molds for Lalique and Sabino, made the molds for Hunebelle's glass which was fabricated by the crystal factory in Choisy-le-Roi, France. Hunebelle's store ceased all activity in 1938 prior to World War II.

Hunebelle pieces are marked in several ways. The most common is A.HUNEBELLE-FRANCE in molded capitals either within the glass design or on the base. Other pieces are marked simply A.HUNEBELLE. There was also a paper label with A and H superimposed in a stylized manner. Since paper labels are frequently lost, many pieces may appear completely unmarked. In the author's collection there are pieces marked A.HUNEBELLE both with and without the word FRANCE, and a bowl marked MADE IN FRANCE that is identical to one shown in a Hunebelle catalogue. Hunebelle also used a more elaborate maker's mark imprinted on some glass pieces which had the word FRANCE encircled by the words MADE IN FRANCE MODELLE DEPOSE et R COGNEVILLE and with A. HUNEBELLE underneath (reflects mid 1930s partnership with COGNEVILLE).

In a short essay, he defined his stylistic aims as a glassmaker, explaining that he wanted to be "an adept of an abstract art where the geometric exactness, the poetry of line, and transparency are combined."

He also patented techniques for producing exact mouldings of items.

His glasswork displays a calculated modernism in contrast to influences derived from animals, plants and flowers which featured in the work of contemporaries such as René Lalique, Pierre D'Avesn and Marius-Ernest Sabino at the time. Hunebelle chose to focus on geometric forms, using technique and his scientific background to enhance light emission as much as possible. Surface contrasts, volume intersections, polished-non polished effects, geometry, light and poetry of line feature prominently in his work. Hunebelle employed both mold-blown and pressed-molded techniques in producing his pieces.

Hunebelle was a publisher of a French newspaper called La Fleché. During World War II, he had no job until a friend Marcel Achard found him work in films for Production Artistique Cinématographique (P.A.C.) where he acted as an art director and later began producing films beginning with Leçon de conduite (1946). He directed his first film Métier de fous in 1948.

His next three films were a film series of French film noir featuring Raymond Rouleau as a journalist character mixing with crime. All three had the titles beginning with the letter "M" in honour of author Pierre Benoît whose heroines all began with the letter "A". The films were written by Michel Audiard, a crime novelist. ...

biography:
André Hunebelle, né le 1er septembre 1896 à Meudon, Seine-et-Oise, et mort le 27 novembre 1985 à Nice, Alpes-Maritimes, est un réalisateur, scénariste, producteur et maître verrier français.

Fils d'Édouard Benjamin Joseph Hunebelle, ingénieur, chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur et de Marie Thérèse Garambois, André Henri Hunebelle naît le 1er septembre 1896 au 15 rue des Potagers à Meudon.

Sa famille paternelle, issue de corroyeurs d'Aire-sur-la-Lys, devient très puissante dans la seconde partie du XIXe siècle en se lançant dans la construction de chemins de fer puis dans la politique (mairies de Clamart et de Deauville) et dans les affaires. Ses tantes Gabrielle et Blanche épousent respectivement les hommes d'État Georges Cochery et Georges Pallain et sa cousine Louise, le docteur Fernand Lamaze. Ingénieur, son père devient propriétaire agricole et maire en Algérie où André se marie une première fois en 1919.

Même si son père avait déjà été intéressé par ce domaine, comme en témoigne le dépôt d'un brevet d'appareil de projection en 1896, André Hunebelle a commencé tardivement sa carrière cinématographique. Après avoir préparé l'École polytechnique, comme l'avait fait son père, il s'engage dans l'armée en 1915 en devançant l'appel alors qu'il est en seconde année de Math Spé.

Le 3 septembre 1936 à Alger, André Hunebelle épouse Yvonne Aziza Chamberlain dont il divorce en 1958. Le 11 juillet 1972, il se remarie avec Yvonne Aziza Chamberlain à Meudon.

En 1925, André Hunebelle obtient un poste de responsabilité dans une verrerie semi-industrielle en difficulté. Embrassant tous les aspects de ce métier, il se fait créateur pour relancer l'affaire. Ses premières œuvres (principalement vases, de la lustrerie, des cendriers) sont encore empreintes du style Art nouveau floral et foisonnant. Elles s'épurent et en se «géométrisant» tout en respectant les proportions des créations de la nature et s'inscrivent dans la transition vers l'Art déco. Entre 1927 et 1931, il édite ses verreries de table qu'il diffuse en ouvrant un magasin sur l'avenue des Champs-Élysées à Paris.

L'activité de maître verrier de Hunebelle cesse en 1938 et sa reconversion dans l'industrie du cinéma a lieu en 1941 lorsqu'il devient producteur (puis réalisateur) de films, sous le label PAC (Production Artistique et Cinématographique) dont le siège se situait au 26 rue Marbeuf, dans le 8e arrondissement à Paris.

Il fait débuter Michel Audiard dans la carrière de scénariste et dialoguiste avec le film Mission à Tanger, dans lequel Audiard affiche d'emblée son sens très particulier de la répartie.

Au cours de sa carrière, il travaille fréquemment avec certains acteurs et cascadeurs, parmi lesquels Claude Carliez, François Nadal, Gil Delamare ou encore Guy Delorme.

Après avoir réalisé de nombreuses comédies comme Les Trois Mousquetaires, Monsieur Taxi, Ma femme est formidable, Taxi, Roulotte et Corrida, il délaisse ce genre et approfondit le film de cape et d'épée (après Les Trois Mousquetaires) avec Cadet Rousselle en 1954 puis Le Bossu en 1959. ...

André Hunebelle

biography:
André Hunebelle (1. September 1896 – 27. November 1985) war ein französischer Glasmachermeister und Filmregisseur.

Nach einem Studium der Mathematik an einer Fachhochschule wurde er Dekorateur, Designer und Mitte der 1920er-Jahre Glasmachermeister (seine erste dokumentierte Ausstellung fand 1927 in Paris statt und umfasste das Werk „Früchte & Blätter“). Seine Arbeiten zeichnen sich durch klare, elegante und zugleich kraftvolle Linien aus. Er stellte sein Glas in einem luxuriösen Geschäft in der Avenue Victor-Emmanuel III 2, am Kreisverkehr der Champs-Élysées in Paris, aus. Die Formen für Hunebelles Glas wurden von Etienne Franckhauser, der auch für Lalique und Sabino entwarf, gefertigt und in der Kristallglasmanufaktur in Choisy-le-Roi, Frankreich, hergestellt. Hunebelles Geschäft stellte 1938, kurz vor dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, seinen Betrieb ein.

Hunebelles Glasobjekte sind auf verschiedene Weise gekennzeichnet. Am häufigsten findet sich die Markierung A.HUNEBELLE-FRANCE in geprägten Großbuchstaben, entweder innerhalb des Glasdesigns oder auf dem Boden. Andere Stücke sind lediglich mit A.HUNEBELLE gekennzeichnet. Es gab auch ein Papieretikett mit übereinanderliegenden, stilisierten Buchstaben A und H. Da Papieretiketten häufig verloren gehen, können viele Stücke völlig unmarkiert erscheinen. In der Sammlung des Autors befinden sich Stücke mit der Markierung A.HUNEBELLE, sowohl mit als auch ohne den Zusatz FRANCE, sowie eine Schale mit der Aufschrift MADE IN FRANCE, die identisch mit einem Exemplar aus einem Hunebelle-Katalog ist. Hunebelle verwendete zudem eine aufwendigere Herstellermarke, die auf einigen Glasstücken angebracht wurde. Diese zeigte den Schriftzug FRANCE, umgeben von den Worten MADE IN FRANCE MODELLE DEPOSE et R COGNEVILLE und darunter A.HUNEBELLE (was auf eine Partnerschaft mit COGNEVILLE Mitte der 1930er-Jahre hinweist).

In einem kurzen Essay definierte er seine stilistischen Ziele als Glasmacher und erklärte, er wolle „ein Meister einer abstrakten Kunst sein, in der geometrische Exaktheit, die Poesie der Linie und Transparenz vereint sind“.

Er patentierte auch Verfahren zur Herstellung exakter Abgüsse.

Seine Glasarbeiten zeichnen sich durch einen kalkulierten Modernismus aus, im Gegensatz zu den Einflüssen von Tieren, Pflanzen und Blumen, die die Werke seiner Zeitgenossen wie René Lalique, Pierre D’Avesn und Marius-Ernest Sabino prägten. Hunebelle konzentrierte sich auf geometrische Formen und nutzte seine Technik und sein wissenschaftliches Wissen, um die Lichtemission maximal zu steigern. Oberflächenkontraste, Volumenüberschneidungen, polierte und unpolierte Effekte, Geometrie, Licht und die Poesie der Linie sind prägende Merkmale seiner Arbeiten. Hunebelle verwendete sowohl das Formblasen als auch das Pressformen.

Hunebelle war Herausgeber der französischen Zeitung „La Fleché“. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs war er arbeitslos, bis ihm sein Freund Marcel Achard eine Stelle bei der Filmproduktionsfirma Production Artistique Cinématographique (P.A.C.) vermittelte. Dort arbeitete er als Szenenbildner und produzierte später Filme, beginnend mit „Leçon de conduite“ (1946). Sein Regiedebüt gab er 1948 mit „Métier de fous“.

The poster for the first film can be seen in Casper and Frank’s offices throughout the series.  Klovn initially ran 6 seasons on TV2 Zulu from 2005-2009 and was renewed with an additional 3 seasons that aired from 2018-2022.

Bille August

biography:
Bille August (født 9. november 1948) er en dansk filminstruktør.

Han har to gange vundet Den Gyldne Palme for filmene Pelle Erobreren (1987) og Den gode vilje (1991). For førstnævnte vandt han desuden en Oscar og en Golden Globe for bedste udenlandske film. Bille August er desuden ridder af Dannebrog.

Bille August, filminstruktør, er søn af eksperimentalpsykolog og hypnotisør Frithiof August (død 1984) og hustru Kamma August (født Engelbrecht) (død 1957). Han ville oprindelig være arkitekt og kom først halvandet år i lære som bygningsmaler. Men i stedet fik han interesse for fotografering og rejste som 19-årig til Stockholm for at komme ind på Christer Strömholms Foto- og Dokumentarfilmskole. Han tilbragte fire år på skolen og påtog sig forskelligt arbejde bl.a. ved samlebånd på en fabrik, ekspedient i taskeafdeling og som sygehjælper. Bille August begyndte på fotoskolen at lave sine første små film, bl.a. om en bryderklub i Skåne. Under opholdet i Stockholm blev han som 20-årig far til Melina, hvis svenske mor var en ungdommelig flirt. I årene 1971-73 blev han uddannet som fotograf på Den Danske Filmskole og arbejdede i perioden 1973-77 uafbrudt som filmfotograf på spillefilm og tv-film. Han skrev manuskript og debuterede som filminstruktør med "Honning Måne" i 1978 og fortsatte som fotograf bl.a. på to svenske film i 1980 og 1981. I 1983 var han instruktør på den kombinerede tv-serie og spillefilm "Busters verden" og samme år indgik han et samarbejde med Bjarne Reuter om filmatisering af ungdomsromanen "Zappa". Senere fulgte efterfølgeren "Tro, håb og kærlighed" inden Bille August fik sit internationale gennembrud med "Pelle Erobreren". Ved Cannes-festivalen 1988 vandt filmen Guldpalme og i 1989 Oscar som bedste udenlandske film. Op gennem 1990erne var Bille August instruktør på "Åndernes hus", "Jerusalem", "Frøken Smillas fornemmelse for sne" og "Les Misérables". I 2002 debuterede han som teaterinstruktør på Det Kongelige Teater med opsætningen af Lars Noréns "Detaljer". I 2004 kom "Return to Sender", der havde verdenpremiere september 2004, men som fik en overvejende negativ anmeldelse. Bille August levede i en periode sammen med skoleleder Annie Munksgård Lauritzen og blev far til den senere manuskriptforfatter Anders August Frithiof (f. 15-06-1978). Senere dannede han i 1980erne par med skuespillerinden Masja Dessau og blev far til den senere manuskriptforfatter Adam August (f. 05-03-1983). I slutningen af 1980erne fik han tilbud om at instruere Ingmar Bergmans store tv-serie og film "Den goda viljan", hvor samarbejdet mellem instruktør og den svenske skuespillerinde Pernilla Östergren udmundede sig i et ægteskab, der blev indgået den 3. januar 1991 i Skovshoved Kirke. I ægteskabet blev Bille August far til den senere skuespiller Asta August (f. 05-11-1991) og den senere skuespiller Alba August (f. 06-06-1993). Efter at ægteskabet med Pernilla Östergren forliste i 1997 bosatte Bille August sig i England og skrev manuskriptet til sin næste film "En sang for Martin", der blev optaget i Sverige. Siden 2001 dannede han par med skuespillerinden Sara-Marie Maltha, som han blev gift med den 12. maj 2012 på Gentofte Rådhus
