Auction chant
How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck – Beobachtungen zu einer neuen Sprache (1976 Herzog film for TV)

Bruno S.
Der Fremde ist der Tod
2003 documentary film by Miron Zownir. Version with English titles and subtitles “Bruno S. – Estrangement is Death”.

38:00 Fritz Schuler and Hans Krause talk about how people were ashamed of Bruno except when they learned of his art, at which point he became an object of intense interest.
