Biography

edit

Stefan Lampadius grew up in Emden. After graduating from high school and completing vocational training in Stuttgart, he studied Audiovisual media at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne from 2003.[1] Lampadius also took part in acting workshops at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg and the Academy of Media Arts Cologne from 2003 to 2007.[2]

After graduating from the Academy of Media Arts Cologne in 2010, Lampadius began working primarily as a film and television actor. One of his first acting experiences was in the TV series Stromberg, which was based on the series The Office, and through which he became known to a wider audience in Germany.[1] This was followed by further roles in television productions, feature films, music videos and commercials. Lampadius made his International film debut in the anthology movie Hives (2012), in which he played the engineer Ralf.[3] The movie had its international premiere at the 60th San Sebastián International Film Festival[4] (Spain). Lampadius also appeared in the feature film West (2013) by Christian Schwochow and the Netflix series We Are the Wave (2019), which is loosely based on the 1981 novel The Wave.

Since the end of the 1990s, Lampadius has worked in various roles in film productions and also realized his own short films. Early works include the video recordings of a Dortmund concert for the English post-punk band And Also the Trees, which appeared on their video album Live 89–98.[5] His short film Painters at work (2017) was nominated for the German Short Film Award, among others.[1] The experimental music video Dynamo (music: Namosh), celebrated its international festival premiere at the Lausanne Underground Film and Music Festival in 2021. In 2024, Lampadius was a member of the festival jury for the Bamberg Short Film Festival.
