About the artist
Oscar-nominated German filmmaker who was born in 1945 in Düsseldorf. At the university, Wenders originally studied to become a physician before switching to philosophy, to finally terminate his studies in 1965.

Upon his return to West Germany in 1967, he was accepted by the University of Television and Film Munich. While attending film school, he worked as a newspaper film critic. Wenders has also distinguished himself as a non-fiction filmmaker, directing several highly acclaimed documentaries, bringing him Oscar nominations.
