“Bored to death studying film in Munich,” a 22-year-old Werner Schroeter travelled to attend the 1967 Experimental Film Festival (EXPRMNTL) in Knokke-Le-Zoute, Belgium. There he encountered the work of Gregory Markopoulos and Andy Warhol, and met Rosa von Praunheim, a lifelong friend, for the first time. After the experience he began making his first films proper on 8mm, on a camera he had before used to film his holidaying in Italy with his mother.
This screening compiles many such early works, which are mostly non-narrative experiments in performance. Most notable, perhaps, being Maria Callas Portrait, in which he establishes his long-lasting devotion to the singer and her image.
