Norbert Busè (born 1963) is a German documentary filmmaker, film producer, and director.

Biography

Norbert Busè grew up in Erbach in the Odenwald forest. He studied philosophy, education, German literature and theology and graduated with a diploma in religious education. Until 1993, he worked as an editor at ZDF television and also presented the ZDF consumer advice programme KONTAKTE. He has been working on film projects since 1991. He has also been involved in media education issues. In 1993, he moved to Berlin, where he made documentaries and a number of experimental short films. His work to date has focused on topics related to culture, especially music. His first film for ZDF, Auf Teufel komm raus, deals with the importance of music in the development of young people, using the New Wave scene as an example. In 2003, Busè began producing contributions to the six-part film project Masterpieces of Humanity together with UNESCO, ZDF and 3sat. The films showed examples of the intangible world cultural heritage in the fields of music and the performing arts. The 90-minute music documentary AVA – The Voice of My Mother, shot in Russia and Berlin, was his first feature-length film about the heritage and possible loss of the folk songs and chants of the Mari people. He produced the Arte Lounge in over thirty episodes, which was the first television show to feature classical musicians in a Berlin club. In 2010, he organized a choir festival in South Africa for the ARTE television channel. The highlight was the first-ever performance of the freedom song Ukuthula by all choirs together. Mari also produced films about musicians such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Elvis Presley, Sergiu Celibidache and Richard Strauss, which attracted international attention. In addition, he was one of the few people to visualize traditional stage dances from Russia, Bolivia, India, Malaysia and Cuba in their living context for television, in order to awaken a new understanding of dance. In 2009, he took over the management of the non-fiction department of Studio.TV.Film in Berlin. Since 2017, he has been working increasingly on film biographies of famous personalities again. In his works, he often succeeds in particularly bringing out the essence of a personality and empathically bringing it closer to the viewer. Busè lives in Berlin, is married and has three children.

Norbert Busé, a former editor at the German television channel ZDF and an experienced filmmaker, is extremely knowledgeable about the cultural history of the 20th century, including both popular and high culture. In his extensive film work, he has already portrayed the "greats" such as Stockhausen, John Cage and George Tabori, as well as the stars of the masses: Elvis Presley, the Chinese State Circus or simply the German Democratic Republic.

Work

Focus points for his work so far have been cultural, with a particular emphasis on music. The first of his films shot for ZDF, Auf Teufel komm raus , considers the meaning of music in adolescent development, by example of the New Wave scene.

In 2003 Busè began, in co-operation with UNESCO, ZDF and 3sat, the production of the 12-piece film project Meisterwerke der Menschheit . The films showed the humanity's intangible cultural heritage and the threat under which even music finds itself.

AVA - Die Stimme meiner Mutter , a 90-minute music documentary film, was Busè’s first feature-length film about the legacy and potential loss of Russian folk songs. He produced over 30 episodes of the Arte Lounge programme, which at first broadcast classical music from a Berlin club. In 2010 he organised a choral festival in South Africa for the European cultural broadcaster Arte, the culmination of which was a joint performance from all the choirs involved of the freedom song ‘Ukuthula’. Films he produced about musicians such as Karlheinz Stockhausen, John Cage, Elvis Presley, Sergiu Celibidache and Richard Strauss have also attracted international recognition. Additionally, he has been one of few in the industry to bring to television the traditional stage dance of Russia, Bolivia, India, Malaysia and Cuba, preserving their native environment and thereby awakening a deeper understanding of dance. In 2009 he took over as Head of Factual Programming at Studio TV Film in Berlin.

Recognition

Norbert Busè has been officially recognised for his work, including internationally. In 1999 he won the audience-choice award in the youth category from the Film Council of Bremen with his first short film, Incubus. In 2004 he was awarded the Media Prize of the German Diabetes Foundation for his documentary on the epidemic of prosperity. In 2011, his production of Arte Lounge was nominated for the Grimme Prize in the entertainment category. In 2011 the four-part series Auf den Spuren von Easy Rider was awarded the gold medal for best production in the cultural category at the world's biggest television trade-show, NAB in Las Vegas. In 2014 he was nominated at the International Classical Music Awards for his directing of the film Sergiu Celibidache - Feuerkopf und Philosophy . In 2015 his production Richard Strauss and his Heroines won the ECHO Classical award for best DVD-production of the year, and at the International Classical Music Awards.
