The Little Gluers

FRG 1981, directed by Heide Breitel, Eva-Maria Hammel, 48 min, rated: 0

The almost exclusively female hands that used to glue scenes together in the film laboratory according to the director’s instructions were not recognised in a film’s credits. In a series of interviews, eight former film laboratory employees and their friends remember this challenging and little-acknowledged work from the early days of the analogue film age.
