Art Unleashed: Experiments on Film by Lutz Dammbeck

"Art Unleashed, is a collection of four early film works by Lutz Dammbeck, one of Germany’s boldest and most innovative multimedia artists. His creative experiments on film, including his playful use of non-camera animation, were groundbreaking at the time. The films also give insight into the East German underground art scene in the late 1970s and 1980s. In addition, the DVD-set includes, extensive and rare bonus features and the 1988 documentary The Painter Came from a Foreign Land... in which Dammbeck explores his personal, as well as three other artists, physical and artistic move from East to West Germany. The DVD-set is an essential must for people interested in (East) German art!"
