The Formative Years

Heinz Emigholz' early cinematic work provided important impulses for the international experimental film movement of the 1970s and 80s. Within the frame of Forum Expanded 2010, we presented an installation of seven films from 1972-1977 at Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart. Together with Filmgalerie 451, the films were published on two DVDs. For the first time, the project offers the opportunity to survey the interrelations in this completed group of works: SCHENEC-TADY I, II and III, ARROWPLANE, TIDE, HOTEL, and DEMON.
