Krepl Trailer (1988)

With Krepl, the political dimension of Schmelzdahin's research becomes clearer. The color scales the planes of scientific or colonial documentaries, horrible rubs that require these bodies scaled with the scalpel, these giant hamsters, these natives threatened by a camera that unsuccessfully repel.

The Flamethrowers Trailer (1989)
09 September 1989
Matthias Müller’s films are always about both the eternal and the volatile qualities of cinema. They exaggerate the unreality and clinical perfection of the Hollywood studio films of the 1950s, quoting its sets and colours (Home Stories, 1990; Pensão Globo, 1997) or even reconstructing them in minute detail (Alpsee, 1994).
Stadt in Flammen Trailer (1984)
01 January 1984
Film material is subjected to biochemical processes by burying it in the garden, storing it in a pond, or overheating it.
