Peter Henkel (b. 12/08/1924 – d. 14/02/1992) was an editor and director. Also credited as Peter Henckel (once).

Biography

Peter Louis Richard Henkel was born in 1924, the son of Benjamin Henkel and his wife, Winifred Maud Hawken. His first known credit was on The Stolen Cigarette, a short film made by J. Blake Dalrymple for Tom Tom Cigarettes in what was then Rhodesia. For that he handled the sound, though during his subsequent career he became best known as an editor, working more than once with directors such as Emil Nofal, Jans Rautenbach and Dirk de Villiers. His first feature as editor was Rip van Wyk, directed by Emil Nofal for Jamie Uys Filmproduksies and amongst his best-known films were Die Kandidaat (1968) and Katrina (1969), both directed by Jans Rautenbach. For Truida Pohl’s Huis op Horings (1963) he was her main technical advisor, handling the cinematography, the editing and the sound. In the early 1970s he turned to direction and made three South African derivatives of the Italian spaghetti western: Scotty Smith (1970), Three Bullets… for a Long Gun (1971) and They Call Me Lucky (1973). He also worked on a number of sponsored documentaries, frequently returning to J. Blake Dalrymple when he launched Films of Africa.

He was married twice, first to Laura Katharine Cherry and then to Diane Thelma Perry. His grandfather was Caesar Carl Hans Henkel, a German immigrant to South Africa who became a noted cartographer, painter, forester and botanist, especially in the Eastern Cape.
