Biography

Born in Munich in 1961, Oliver Herbrich made his first full length movie "Mathias Kneissl" at the age of 18. After completing his secondary education, Herbrich began studies at Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film in Munich. His film education was supplemented by sojourns to Australia and South America, where occasionally shooting under precarious circumstances, he completed his first two documentaries. He graduated from the Academy in 1985.

That same year he was the youngest participant at the Moscow International Filmfestival, his submission: "Wodzeck", his second feature length movie. During 1986 Herbrich completed two more nonfiction films in Germany, became a jury member of the Hamburg Film Förderung and the Munich Documentary Filmfestival. Since 1987, he has filmed on location allover the globe as he continues his series of "Third World" documentaries. His movie "Earthbound" ("Erdenschwer", 1989) was awarded international prizes.

Herbrich shot two more feature length non fiction films in Nepal and Ireland and is the founder of Licht & Ton GmbH (1980-2014) and founder of Oliver Herbrich Childrens Fund (non profit organization).
