Background

Ingo Petzke (b. Germany, 1947) is an internationally acclaimed film scholar. Since 1983 he is Professor for Film & Video at Fachhochschule (University of Applied Sciences) Würzburg in Germany. He spent considerable time in Australia: as Visisting Professor at Queensland University of Technology in Brisbane in 1992 and as Associate Professor at Bond University from 2001 - 2006.

A filmmaker in his own right, Ingo had his short films screened at numerous international festivals. His oeuvre includes several CD-ROMs and most recently ongoing work on a series of DVDs.

Among the short films he produced was Ayers Rock by Paul Winkler (Australia) and several American shorts by German Bastian Clevé. He was also a Supervising Producer on more than 1,000 student films, some awarded internationally.

Ingo was involved in starting or running four art house cinemas in Germany and also the driving force behind the Gold Coast Cinematheque.

He worked free-lance as a programmer for major festivals including the reknown Oberhausen International Short Film Festival, the Trondheim Film Festival (Norway), and the Würzburg International Film Weekend (Germany). In 1981 he was co- founder of the European Media Arts Festival in Osnabrueck (Germany).

Mostly for the Goethe-Institut (German Culture Institute) he lectured and conducted workshops in more than 30 countries world-wide - as far apart as Japan, Philippines, Thailand, USA, Ukraine and Chile. For several years he was a member of the Goethe-Institut's Film Board.

Ingo was a consultant for the German Federal Government (media curriculum development) and the Croatian Government (external quality audit).
