Walter Heynowski, Gerhard Scheumann: Geldsorgen (1975)
After the notorious directing duo Heynowski & Scheumann caused some fierce controversy in the Oberhausen programme of the 1960s, the relationship eased somewhat in the following decade. Between 1974 and 1976, they showed three films about the military coup in Chile at the Short Film Festival, all of which won prizes. Their method of emotional or satirical exaggeration ‘works best in the precise, pointed interventions; the apt detail is representative of the totality of reality’ (Wilhelm Roth).
