      Heinz Emigholz

      Heinz EMIGHOLZ (1948, Germany) was trained as a draftsman, before studying philosophy and literature in Hamburg. He works as a filmmaker, actor, artist, writer and producer in Germany and the United States. In 1978, he founded his own production company, Pym Films. All his works are part of the same creative process, and sometimes have similar titles as a result. Many of his titles have been placed in series. By now, Emigholz has a large œuvre of art and often architectural films, although frequently the boundary between these two expressions is vague. He also teaches experimental film in Berlin and Switzerland.
