Biography
Benny O. Arthur is an actor known for 'Get Lucky' (2019), 'Alexanderplatz' (2019) and 'Der Ring: Next Generation' (2013). He was born on December 20th 1997 in Berlin to parents of Ghanaian decent, which is why he grew up bilingually with English and German as his mother tongue. Since preschool, Benny attended a State European School (SESB). In the summer of 2016, he completed his high school diploma at such a school, the Schiller-Gymnasium. His interest for acting developed early on, which is why Benny has been engaged in local Theater Groups since the third grade. Benny made his first professional acting experience in 2013, where he took part in the production "Der Ring: Next Generation" at the Deutsche Oper Berlin, directed by Robert Lehniger. In 2018 Benny was cast in Burhan Qurbani's cinema adaptation of Alfred Doblin's classic Novel "Berlin Alexanderplatz". What followed was his first major role in Ziska Riemann's comedy "Get Lucky".

Helix
In November 1948, James Baldwin left New York and, thanks to a fellowship grant, relocated to Paris. The 24-year-old writer would spend most of the next decade there, escaping American racism and his own social alienation, ensconcing himself in the city’s Algerian quarters and the community of Left Bank artists in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, and writing his first books. In his first feature, photographer and filmmaker Yashaddai Owens imagines Baldwin’s first experiences in Paris in impressionistic fashion. Shooting in black-and-white on 16mm film, Owens conveys a subjective feeling of wonder and freedom as Baldwin (Benny O. Arthur) observes and absorbs his new environment, and experiences newfound individuality and erotic liberation. A work of exhilaration, set to a lush original score by Paco Andreo, Jimmy is a portrait of the artist reconnecting with the world.
