Werner Kronenberg was a master of minimalism. He was able to create an entertaining movie from just some little footage, even from some odds and ends.

Particularly I can remember

an animated (short) movie about a little astronaut in a setting created from domestic items - directed to children

"Ein Auto steht im Regen" (this was probably the title, at least the text did begin with this phrase), a filmloop with a rhymed text, each cycle with a new, slightly modified verse

"Tauern-Express", a movie made of some odds and ends from a vacation film and a lot of black footage with a funny soundtrack.

He used the cheapest amateur film format available, 8 mm (standard 8) with the SEPMAG system from Zeiss-Ikon (Moviphon).
He had a 1950s style basement bar which he used as a little cinema too, with an adjacent chamber as projection booth.
