Michael Glawogger
Michael Glawogger (3 December 1959 – 23 April 2014) was an Austrian film director, screenwriter and cinematographer.
From 1981 to 1982, Glawogger studied at the San Francisco Art Ins*ute, and from 1983 to 1989 at the Vienna Film Academy. Like fellow Austrian director Ulrich Seidl, with whom he collaborated several times, he was mainly known for his do*entary films, such as Megacities (1998), Workingman's Death (2005) and *s' Glory (2011). In 2008 he was a member of the jury at the 30th Moscow International Film Festival.

In 2013, Glawogger contributed one chapter to "Cathedrals of Culture", a 3-D film on architecture produced by Wim Wenders.
Death and legacy
Four days after incorrectly being diagnosed with typhus, he died from malaria on 22 April 2014 shortly before midnight in Monrovia, Liberia during a movie production.
In February 2015, a book of stories en*led 69 Hotel Zimmer was released. The stories used hotel rooms Glawogger had visited (or in some cases only heard about in p*ing) as a departure for stories that reflect the visual richness for which his films are celebrated.
