His earlier work was in the context of a performance group,
Schmelzdahin ... much of it was in-the-moment stuff, since the films
were destroyed in the course of the performance, but there are four or
five films that were made by optically printing the film in various
stages of its decomposition. I think Schmelzdahin's _Stadt in Flammen_
(1984) and Reble's first solo film _Rumpelstilzchen_ (1989, included
in the VHS edition of _Passion_) are the best of the early work;
distribution of the films is through Light Cone in Paris, don't know
if there is an american distributor.

Reble's website is http://www.filmalchemist.de/

      I find myself always torn between two beliefs: the belief
      that life should be better than it is and the belief that
      when it appears better it is really worse.
