Helga Krause
Helga Krause (1 September 1935 in Dresden – 17 January 1989 in Teltow) was a German film editor.[1]
Life and work
Helga Krause worked from 1953 to 1987 as an editor for the film company DEFA in the former German Democratic Republic. First, she worked from 1953 to 1956 in numerous pioneering monthly newsreels, which were shown in cinemas before the main feature.[1] In 1962, she edited her first DEFA feature film, Freispruch mangels Beweises. In total, she was responsible for the editing of almost 40 feature films in her career including some television films on the German television network (DFF).[2]
The most important works in which Krause was involved include the literary film adaptation of Der teilte Himmel (1964, director: Konrad Wolf), as well as the films forbidden by the state censorship Das Kaninchen bin ich (1965, Director: Kurt Maetzig) and Denk bloß nicht, ich heule (1965, Director: Frank Vogel). In addition to Vogel, with whom she made four feature films, Helga Krause also worked several times with Siegfried Kühn (five films), Richard Groschopp (three films) and Iris Gusner (three films). Also Gusner's debut film, Die Taube auf dem Dach, was banned and destroyed except for one working copy. The reconstructed film only had its world premiere in 1990, a year after Helga Krause died.[3]
