Rainer Frimmel

Prior to becoming a filmmaker, the Austrian director and cinematographer Rainer Frimmel studied psychology and later photography. His work was rewarded with grants in Paris, New York and Rome.

For several years, he has worked closely with the Italian director and screenwriter Tizza Covi. In 2002, they founded their own production company, Vento Film, and they produce their own films. Their independent output includes several award-winning documentaries and feature films, among them Babooska, The Little One and The Shine Days. Their most recent film together, Mister Universo, was selected for the Contemporary World Cinema section in Toronto.
