Hungry Dogs
"Expropriated Springer!" is the motto of the extra-parliamentary movement after the murder of Benno Ohnesorg in 1967. In many cities, demonstrators are trying to prevent the delivery of the Bild newspaper. The film documents the siege of the Springer House in Hamburg in 1968. The police reacted to the protests with unprecedented brutality, leading to a further radicalization of the movement. Like the birth of the Baader-Meinhof group.

Kurt Rosenthal has animated 102 abstract landscape drawings made by Werner Nöfer as frames for this film in such a way that they take on a continual travelling motion, varying the order and detail shown. When the movement – and the accompanying motor noise – stop, the film strip itself becomes the subject of the film. In Oberhausen in 1971, the film was counted as being among the ‘Trip’ films.
