EINMART counts as the only experimental film ever made in the DEFA cartoon studios. Painter-filmmaker Dammbeck draws a bleak picture of a claustrophobic cosmos whose mutant inhabitants complete their restricted laps. When one of the “head-footers” makes a break for it and takes to the air, he soon comes up against the next set of boundaries. With a runtime of only fifteen minutes, the film is one of the most compact impossibilities of DEFA film history. In 1986, mounting repression forced the director to move from Leipzig to Hamburg.
