Vorschneider’s work has also been repeatedly featured at Cannes, including both “Schläfer” by Benjamin Heisenberg and “Marseille” by Angela Schanelec. For his work on “Wild” by Nicolette Krebitz, which premiered at Sundance, he received the Marburg Camera Award and the German Film Award.
Vorschneider’s most recent documentary work, Maria Speth's “Herr Bachmann und Seine Klasse,” was awarded the Jury Prize at the 2021 Berlinale, the German Film Prize and was also nominated twice for the European Film Award.
