László Schäffer

László Schäffer (July 19, 1893 – May 1979), was a Hungarian cinematographer. Born in Uzhhorod, Kingdom of Hungary, Austria-Hungary, currently a part of the Ukraine, he worked mostly in Germany in the 1920s.

He moved in his youth to Budapest, where he worked as a photographer. During World War I, he became a cameraman and, after 1920, went to Berlin. With Fritz Arno Wagner, he filmed F. W. Murnau's The Haunted Castle (1921). A further high point in Schäffer's career was the employment as one of several cameramen in Walter Ruttmann's experimental documentary film Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927).

After the Nazi Party rose to power in 1933, Schäffer returned to Budapest. He took his place behind the cameras several times, until in 1939 he emigrated to the United States. Establishing himself in Los Angeles, he received no requests for his occupation. He died in Los Angeles in 1979.

gollark: I'm at least decently confident it would be *quite hard* for unauthorized people to get access. And paper isn't easily backupable or searchable, doesn't support embedding images and videos, doesn't have good linking support, and can be lost easily.
gollark: Might be fun, actually.
gollark: ... though I could do that too.
gollark: No, it's just a regular sort of notes thing except I can do crosslinking and stuff.
gollark: Oh right, calibre-web, a RSS reader and a ton (... five) of random backend services for various projects.
