Biographical Notes in German: Auch Sophus Wangoe, geboren 1883 in Kopenhagen, Kameramann des dÃ¤nischen und deutschen Stummfilms, Um 1912 war er in einem Billardsalon Kopenhagens beschÃ¤ftigt, wo er mit dÃ¤nischen Filmleuten in Kontakt kam und so als Kameramann durch Ole Olsen engagiert wurde. Als Assistent u.a. bei Johan Ankerstjerne in August Bloms Atlantis (1913). Zusammenarbeit vor allem mit den Regisseuren Robert Dinesen und Holger-Madsen. Mitte der Zwanziger Jahre, nach dem Niedergang des dÃ¤nischen Films, kommt er mit Robert Dinesen nach Deutschland, dreht mit Dinesen als Regisseur und deutschen Schauspielern wie Lya de Putty, Paul Otto, Anton Pointner, Alfred Haase und Harry Hardt fÃ¼r die Phoebus-Film AG das Drama Thamar, das Kind der Berge (1924). die letzten Filme der Filmographie mit der Dokumentaristin Gertrud David. In den frÃ¼hen Dreissiger Jahren scheint er noch Werbefilme fÃ¼r deutsche Auftraggeber gedrehtzu haben.

Sophus WangÃ¸e dÃ¼rfte bis circa 1933 noch in Berlin gelebt haben, der TonfilmfÃ¼hrer von 1933 nennt noch seine Berliner Adresse. Anschliessend scheint er nach Kopenhagen zurÃ¼ckgekehrt sein, ohne aber weiteren Anschluss an das dÃ¤nische Filmschaffen gefunden zu haben. Sophus WangÃ¸e starb wÃ¤hrend der deutschen Besatzung in Juli 1943 in Kopenhagen. Sein Sohn Eigil WangÃ¸e war von circa 1927 bis circa 1942 als Photograph ebenfalls im deutschen Film tÃ¤tig und emigrierte spÃ¤ter in die USA. (lhg 2014)

Der Kameramann Axel GraatkjÃ¦r (1885-1969), erinnert sich an Sophus WangÃ¶e: â€œ...It is difficult to get decent cinematopraphers. The others, the ones we call the â€stiffâ€ photographers, have no talent for moving pictures. They were limitied by what they had learnt in the studios. One of the few he accepted and appreciated was Johan Ankerstjerne (1886-1959), the watchmaker from Randers. He knew his trade, and was no. 1 after me. Sophus WangÃ¸e wasnâ€™t to bad either. He was a general labourer at the pub on Mosedalsvej at madam Bischoff where we had our lunch. I had played billiard with him on several occasions, when he had mentioned, that he would like to get in the movie business. I told Ole Olsen, and then he became a cinematographer. - Billard was a popular pastime for the cinematographers of the time, as the light on the day were crucial for how much they could work â€“ whether they could expose any film, since the stock was so slow. It took a lot of light, and no one but the cinematographer could decide when the light made it impossible to expose any film. And if it was impossible, the cinematographer stopped the shooting for the day. On those days they had time for a game of billiards in the nearest pub â€“ and then the â€klukâ€- or pinched bottle came out.â€
