Biography

film director

Peter Sempel

Peter Sempel was born in Hamburg but he grew up in Australia. He returned to Germany in 1968 and enrolled at the University of Hamburg to study American literature. His moviemaking follows his passion for music, especially for the music of Einsturzende Neubauten, Nick Cave and Lou Reed. Sempel is one of the most original and "extreme" figures in contemporary independent cinema, accompanying his films around the world, and is always on the look-out for new experimentations. Jonas at the Ocean is the ideal continuation of Jonas in the Desert (1994). He recently finished Lemmy, a long documentary on the leader of the Motörhead.
