Synopsis:

These films capture - without illustrating - notions of endlessness and timelessness in rigorous compositions. In doing so, something like a logic of the material unfolds. After these mostly twenty or thirty minute films, we don't have the impression that we know anything more about what was filmed, but instead that we are more decisively conscious of the independent existence of landscapes and things, of the limits of what our gaze takes in, and of the unreliability of our always anthropomorphic means of perception. We start to wonder how a technical medium with so many possibilities to change the old ways of perception of the other arts can be so completely absorbed by them.

Heinz Emigholz's artistic work investigates the threshold between film and the visual arts. His early film creations provided a crucial impetus for the international experimental film movement of the 1970s and '80s. They are counted among the few experimental works from Germany which have attained enduring international acclaim. The project The Formative Years makes visible and accessible a segment of film history which, in light of upheavals in the analog world and departures toward a digital one, enables discussion of highly contemporary developments.
