Cinema - a fascinating topic during all my life! I stood in
a queue for tickets for My Fair Lady with unforgettable Audrey Hepburn in
the 1960s. I recall performances of Sergej
Bondartschuk's Masterpiece War and Peace on 70 mm/Todd AO screens in the 1970s.
And, I still have in mind wonderful art house films like Fanny and Alexander
from directing legend Ingmar Bergman from
the 1980s, now available on DVD - finally. Click on the
DVD cover on the r.h.s.
for some
Feature Films I'll
probably always stay in love with.

My Website Susanne-Bormann.info
aims to inform
about German actress
Susanne Bormann who started acting at the age of 8 already. Susanne excelled
as desperate Patty in Andreas Dresen's famous film
Nachtgestalten (1998)
and is well-known as blonde angel Britta in
Liegen Lernen
(2003). In addition, she gave stunning performances on stage in Neil LaBute's
the shape of things in Nuremberg (2005-2007) and as Juliet in
Romeo and Juliet at the Freilichtspiele Schwaebisch Hall
in 2007/2008.
I've always been interested in the world of flight, planes and airports.
This way, it was love at first sight when I detected Microsoft Flight Simulator
4 in a shop someplace back in 1991.
Even if there's still a gap to a full motion simulator which I had the pleasure to try in Frankfurt once: The experience is truly overwhelming, and with recent PC technology it comes closer and closer to "the real thing". This is much more than a game. The screen shot shows my home town Jena while I am banking in a Cessna 172 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.

Playing
the Piano
As a school boy, I got a basic
piano education, but perhaps I didn't fully realize
what value it is at that time. Today, playing the piano is one of the things I really
enjoy.
My favourite piano composers are Csajkovskij, Chopin and particularly Robert Schumann (to the right, with his wife Clara). Beyond that, I enjoy all good music, starting from classical compositions via film music up to (I confess) decent and original rock music.
