Andor von Barsy was a Hungarian filmmaker. He was born on March 14, 1899 in Budapest and died on December 24, 1965 in Munich. He worked for many years as a cameraman and photographer before working on his own documentaries and is often referred to as an influential avant-garde filmmaker because of his experimental documentary films. He went to school in Germany, but most of his work is centered around The Netherlands, or most specifically the city of Rotterdam. Hoogstraat (or "High Street"), his 1930 film is set in Rotterdam and takes the form of a city symphony film. He won the 1957 German Film Award for Best Cinematography for his work on Jonas [de].
