Otto W. Kanturek (27 July 1897, Vienna – 26 June 1941, Cawston, Norfolk) was an Austrian, later Czechoslovak cameraman, cinematographer and film director.
During the First World War, he made his debut as chief cameraman and in 1916 he was conscripted and was seconded to the special photographic services in the military.
In 1920 he moved to Berlin and spent the 1920s working on several films, including Fritz Lang's Frau im Mond.
In 1933, by then a Czechoslovak citizen, he came to London,[1] where he finally settled and continued his work as a cameraman, including on Blossom Time (known in German as Du bist mein Herz) with Richard Tauber.
He died at Cawston, Norfolk, during the Second World War whilst filming the aerial shots for A Yank in the RAF from an Avro Anson, when it collided with a Hawker Hurricane.
