. The director Johann Schwarzer learnt the profession of a chemist and photographer. He opened his own photo studio and became established as a photographer - not only with portrait pictures but also with the than very popular erotic nude photos. Because of the huge demand of such erotic pictures Johann Schwarzer recognized the possibilities of the new arising film business and he expanded his business. He already realised numerous erotic short movies from 1906 where naked women played the leading role. To these movies belong "Schleiertanz" (07), "Weibliche Ringkämpfer" (07), "In der Garderobe" (07), "Diana im Bade" (07), "Eine lustige Geschichte am Fenster" (08), "Aufregende Lektüre" (10) and "Lebender Marmor" (10). He founded the first filmproduction company in Austria in 1906 with "Saturn-Film" and he realised more than 50 movies in the next few years. Besides his activity as a director he also was responsible as a cinematographer, producer and cutter for some of his movies. After 1910 he concentrated to his career as a photographer again. With the outbreak of World War I he joined the army and was already killed in one of the first battles.
