Timeline
Franz Osten was born on December 23, 1876 in Munich, Bavaria, Germany as Franz Ostermayr.
In 1907, he founded a traveling cinema called the "Original Physograph Company" with his brother Peter Ostermayr, who later established the predecessor to Bavaria Film Studios, today one of Germany's largest film studios.
Franz Osten was already contacted by the actor and director Himansu Rai in the middle of the 20s. Rai wanted to realize movies which broached the issue of the East for the West film industry, on the other hand he also wanted to launch an own film production industry in India. Franz Osten was stoked by the idea and he traveled to India in 1924 where he realized the movie "Prem Sanyas/Die Leuchte Asiens" (1925).
Franz Osten's silent films tell varieties of Indian stories. The Light of Asia (1925) dealt with the life of Buddha.
In 1926 The Light of Asia was shown to King George V and the press reported a positive reaction by the Royal Family.
After his return to Germany he shot other German feature movies but the fascination India did not get out of his mind and few years later he returned to India again. There he realised the movies "Prapancha Pash" (1929) and "Shiraz" (1929).
He was a director, known for Achhut Kanya (1936), The Great Cattle War (1920) and Der gelbe Gaukler (1920).
His film career came to an abrupt end in 1939 when World War II broke out in Europe. Franz Osten was arrested in India by the English. His already started movie "Kangan" had to be finished by Indian movie workers.
After his arrest by the English, he was released in 1940 indeed but had to return to Germany where he did not realise movies as a director. He worked as a personnel manager for the "Bavaria" which was emerged from the former production company "Emelka".
Since early 2000s, there has been a revived interest in silent films in general and the trilogy of Osten are in focus. Shiraz was shown at the Castro Theatre at the San Francisco Silent Film Festival in 2002, Prem Sanyas at the same festival in 2005, and A Throw of Dice in 2008.Prapancha Pash was re-released in 2006.
