Materialfilme(1976)

movie - first aired/released 1976-01-01 - 35 min

Directed by Birgit Hein, Wilhelm Hein

For their 35mm Materialfilme (1976), the Heins randomly spliced together a mix of colour and black and white material taken from the header and footer of commercial films. The scratches, scribbles, hand-written and commercially printed numbers and dots that adorn such footage rush past the eye until they are replaced by images consisting only of washed-out colours or scratched black and white frames.
