The Lutz Mommartz Film Archive is a collection of the film works of German film-maker Lutz Mommartz, considered to be one of the pioneers in the film genre known as the "other cinema". Mommartz was born in Erkelenz in 1934 and spent most of his life in Düsseldorf. He began making movies in 1967 and eventually became Professor of Film at the Kunstakademie Münster. He still lives and works in Germany, dividing his time between Düsseldorf and Berlin.

Nothing special
Being from the era, I suspect this is one of the pieces of "art" created while the artist(s) was stoned or tripping on acid, and meant to be appreciated under the same influence. I now find it hard to believe we liked this kind of stuff. Rather nonsensical really.

MPEG2 file is not de-interlaced
Just a heads up: to get rid of the streaks on the MPEG2 file, de-interlace the video.
For instance the VLC player can do it while you watch the film, or you can use the freeware program "MPEG streamclip" to de-interlace it and save it to a new file.

Dancing with a Difference
Experimental German film featuring people dancing to techno/noise music. Bizarre camera angles and tricks are experimented with, resulting in a moderately strange, trippy experience, though nothing as disturbing as The Buckskin Kid. The music really carries this one, having a bit more structure and interest than most techno/noise stuff.
Ratings: Camp/Humor Value: **. Weirdness: ****. Historical Interest: ****. Overall Rating: ****.
