He was associated with Corinne and Arthur Cantrill, Albie Thoms and David Perry in pioneering local experimental film production in the 1960s. Winkler characterises his films as “a synthesis of intellect and emotion, filtered through the plastic material of film”. “I try to let ‘imagines’ flow freely to Dirk De Bruyn the surface”.
