Reverse Angle:NYC, March '82
Completed during the making of Hammett, Reverse Angle... is the first in a series of diary films planned by Wenders. Here, Wenders combines the neon life of New York City with his personal thoughts on the art of making movies. (1982, ca.15 mins., color)

Same Player Shoots Again:
“Just one three-minute shot (of a man running along the street)... shot in black and white and repeated five times, but always in a slightly different color.... For me, it had to do with pinball machines--visually, it's as if you had five balls.” --W.W. (1967/68, 12 mins, color)
Silver City:
“...The film was extremely contemplative. It was really like standing at a window and looking down on the streets... just the empty streets and the view out of the window.” --W.W. (1969, 25 mins, color)
3 American LP's:
Written by Peter Handke, featuring the music of Van Morrison, Harvey Mandel, Credence Clearwater Revival. (1969, 12 mins, color)
Alabama: 2000 Light Years:
“It's about the song, ‘All Along the Watchtower' and what changes depending on whether the song is sung by Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix.... The subject is death. In the end, the camera is dying, not the man.” --W.W. Robbie Muller photographed the film with Wenders; Paul Lys, Werner Schroeter and Muriel Schrat star. (1969, 25 mins, 35mm, color)
