Gartenberg Media Announces
Films by Werner Schroeter
Now Available on DVD for Institutional Sales
Gartenberg Media Enterprises (GME) is proud to announce the release of two publications featuring the films of Werner Schroeter, published by Edition Filmmuseum. Each 2-disc set presents new, state-of-the-art restorations by the Munich Film Museum, along with bonus materials and trilingual booklets about Schroeter and his films. Both PAL-DVD editions are available for institutional sales in North America.
Werner Schroeter's unique melodramas about love and death are fascinating amalgamations of avant-garde opera, theater and cinema elements. Art and kitsch, high- and low-brow, Maria Callas and Caterina Valente, myths and genre elements, all find expression in EIKA KATAPPA & DER TOD DER MARIA MALIBRAN, two melodramas about love and death. The 2-disc DVD set presents the first two feature-length films by Schroeter in beautifully restored versions. In addition, it offers a portrait of Maria Callas shot by Schroeter on 8mm film in 1968, a new reconstruction of Schroeter's legendary two-screen projection short film ARGILA (1969), and excerpts of a talk with Werner Schroeter, led by Dietrich Kuhlbrodt during the Schroeter Tribute at the Viennale 2008.
