Everyman and I – A portrait in 3 chapters
A cinematic portrait of the actor Philipp Hochmair—an impossible attempt? Two versions of the same material provide insight into the power behind the acting of this exceptional talent, but also about the difficulty of trying to capture a person. The portrait becomes a triangular portrait between the filmmaker, the actor, and the camera. Two films, two points of view.

“The starting point for me was a documentary about rehearsing, about working on the role. Here, I allow the documentary filmmaker’s gaze and give the audience insight into a very intimate process. Why? Because I myself would like to find out what actually happens in this process, how it is seen from the outside, and how an inner and outer process possibly condition each other.
The film presented here was completed after having been on tour with the piece Jedermann Reloaded for ten years, and something very unique emerged: two very different perspectives on such an important period of my personal history.”
Philipp Hochmair
“Around the time Jedermann was being rehearsed for Hamburg's Thalia Theater, in 2013/2014, I collected the material for this film—for an attempt to produce a film portrait of Philipp Hochmair. JEDERMANN UND ICH (Actor’s Cut) is a portrait in three chapters: Chapter I is the shortened version of Jedermann from 2016, Chapter II shows two excerpts from Let's Get Lost by Bruce Weber, and Chapter III is a shortened version of JEDERMANN UND ICH (2021).”
