Marta Flantz, also spelled Flanz[1] (1885 – 1938) was a Polish German-speaking actress and film director. She was among the first women in Poland to direct a feature film.
Marta Flantz was born in 1885.[2] She studied acting in Vienna with Max Reinhardt;[3] she acted in German.[2] Flantz was married to the film director Bolesław Land.[4][5] Together with Nina Niovilla,[2][6] Stanisława Perzanowska (co-director of Jego wielka miłość; 1936)[6] and Wanda Jakubowska, she was one of four women who directed full-length feature films in the interwar Poland.[2][6]
In 1929,[7] Flantz played the title role in The Morality of Mrs. Dulska (1930) – the first Polish sound film, an adaptation of Gabriela Zapolska's play with the same title.[3] Flantz was also a co-director of the sound scenes.[7] Because she played in German, her role was dubbed.[2][4] Her acting received favorable reviews.[7]
In the 1930s, Flantz joined the Leo-Film production company ran by Maria Hirszbein.[8] Flantz, together with Bolesław Land, wrote the screenplay for Prokurator Alicja Horn (1933), based on the novel by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz. Flantz also directed the film together with Michał Waszyński.[9] Two years later, she was the sole director of the romantic comedy Kochaj tylko mnie produced by Leo-Film. The main roles were played by: the debutante Lidia Wysocka, Kazimierz Junosza-Stępowski, Michał Znicz, Witold Zacharewicz and Helena Grossówna. The film followed love affairs of a theater star.[10]
Flantz died in 1938.[2]
