As Gärtner was of Jewish descent, he was forced to flee Germany once the Nazis gained power in 1933. He settled in Spain, where he continued to work following Franco's victory in the Spanish Civil War.[1] Gärtner was an influential figure in Spanish cinema, introducing elements of expressionism and training rising filmmakers such as Alfredo Fraile, José F. Aguayo and Cecilio Paniagua.[2]

Selected filmography
gollark: No. I've vaguely read about recurrence relations and differential equations being related to matrices but don't know much.
gollark: Given that I just made people write 11 excellent matrix multiplication implementations as part of my plan, I wish to use this.
gollark: And how is this to be used for fibonnacious purposes? How does it *work*?
gollark: How do you do fibonacci with matrix multiplication?!?!?!?!
gollark: *My* language makes it impossible to recurse by dynamically inspecting the stack on all function calls (efficiently via something something SIMD/vectorization) and immediately halting if recursion is detected.
