PEOPLE OF MCS-70 |
 In
the Movies with Gerhard Fromm
By Thomas Hauerslev
Gerhard Fromm (b. 1932) has spent a lifetime with movies. From small
beginnings with DEFA in Berlin, to big European 70mm productions in the 1960s. From
working with Heinz Hölscher, Jan Jacobsen and Leni Riefenstahl, to teaching
camera techniques to students in his later life. |
 Re-visiting
Large Format With Gerhard Fromm
By Thomas Hauerslev
In
the late 1990s, Mr. Gerhard Fromm invited me to come to München to talk
about movies and cameras and in 2009 I was on my way to see him.
I left Copenhagen on a cold Thursday January night, and
I was not travelling alone for this epic adventure. My friend of many years, Orla Nielsen joined me en-route and boarded the
City Night Line train in Odense. The following morning we would
arrive - by train - in south Bavaria to look for traces of the MCS 70
film process.

 Dieter
Gäbler passed away
By Herbert Born
Dieter Gäbler, German DoP and well known MCS-70 camera technician, passed
away last Wednesday, March 06, 2014. We remember him as a very passionate
filmmaker and a very friendly and likable friend who was always very helpful
in answering questions during our long research conversations. |
 The
man with the camera. Coburg's film historian
By
Manfred Romboy
Jürgen A. Brückner, born in 1941, virtually inherited the passion for films.
In 1938 his father, Rudolf Brückner, a factory owner in Coburg, bought a
Siemens film camera. His father bought the camera so that he could film both
of his sons at the time. It was no surprise that the crafty Jürgen managed to get his father´s camera´s up and running when he was a
child. This meant that much of his fathers stock of undeveloped film got
drastically reduced! |

Der
Mann mit der Kamera. Coburgs Filmchronist
Von Manfred Romboy
Coburgs Filmchronist von Manfred Romboy, DGPh Lust am Film wurde dem
1941 geborenen Jürgen A. Brückner quasi in die Wiege gelegt. 1938 hatte
sich sein Vater Rudolf Brückner, ein Coburger Fabrikant, eine
Siemens-Filmkamera gekauft. Es versteht sich, dass als beliebte
Filmobjekte auch seine beiden Söhne herhalten mussten. Eventuell hat das
katzenartige Abschnurren der väterlichen Doppel 8-Kamera schon im
Unterbewusstsein des kleinen Jürgen die Grundlagen seiner später so
ausgeprägten Filmaffinität gelegt. |
