'In 2022 the National Film and Sound Archive acquired the hand-made filmmaking material Paul Winkler constructed to make his innovative films from the the 1960’s to the present. Winkler is packing up his practice bags. His successful graphic cinema originated on his 1959 arrival in Australia. A basic 8mm film documenting his journey from Germany to Australia by motorbike was an early foray into cinema. Winkler later participated in Sydney’s Yellow House Art events with Albie Thoms and David Perry. The minimalist 16mm work Brickwall (1975), rendering the act of bricklaying, is considered a classic Australian experimental film.' (Introduction)
