About this title

About the Author

Wim Wenders was born in 1945 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Wenders emerged as a filmmaker during the New German Cinema movement in the early 1970s, and by the end of the decade he had crossed over to audiences in the United States and all over the world with the American-German-French production "The American Friend." In 1984 he won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for "Paris, Texas," and continued to win acclaim and admiration throughout the rest of the decade and into the next with such films as "Wings of Desire," "Until the End of the World," "Faraway, So Close," "The Buena Vista Social Club," and, most recently, "The Million Dollar Hotel," which premiered at the 2000 Berlin Film Festival. Author Quote:
"Every photo, every 'ONCE' in time is also the beginning of a story starting 'once upon a time... ' Every photo is the first frame of a movie." -Wim Wenders
