Uta Briesewitz (born 1967) is a German cinematographer [1] and television director. [2] She is known for her collaborations with film director Brad Anderson.
Briesewitz was born in Leverkusen, Germany. She cultivated a preference for French Nouvelle Vague and Italian cinema at an early age, watching them on German television. [3] In an interview, she recounted that Francois Truffaut's Day for Night, The Story of Adele H and The Man Who Loved Women, were some of the films that made strong impressions on her as a child. [4] Later, Briesewitz considered becoming a painter, but decided it was too isolated as a career. [3]
She had an internship with a German television company, before she applied and completed a cinematography program at AFI Conservatory. [4]
In 2007 she won a Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards in the category Kodak Vision award.
