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.
Materialfilme was directed by Birgit Hein and Wilhelm Hein.
Materialfilme runs for 35min, and was released in 1976.
