Watch Technische Universität Berlin (1965) Official Trailer

Wolfgang Ramsbott's first film for the Literary Colloquium Berlin (LCB): "Technische Universität Berlin" is a kind of image film for the Technical University of Berlin, where Walter Höllerer, director of the LCB, taught as professor of literary studies. But the experimental filmmaker Ramsbotts was hardly interested in the institution itself: his camera rather feasted on the rattling, flashing and hissing machines. As head of the film department, Ramsbott realised mainly experimental documentaries on literary themes in the following years.
