The Balázs Béla Studio (BBS) as a production facility was set up in 1961 in the framework of MAFILM, originally for young artist graduates of the Academy for Cinematographic Art. Through its board, which consisted of elected members of the Studio, the BBS enjoyed partial autonomy over the redistribution of the yearly budget. At the beginning of the 1970s the Studio opened its doors to "outsiders" from various fields, who have not been involved officially in film production. During the decades the studio produced hundreds of moving images from documentaries to experimantal films and became known on a global scale. As of January 1990, it continued its activities as a foundation. The Balázs Béla Studio Foundation signed its last production in 2005 and ceased to exist in 2010.

'Planlos' (without a plan) was one of the first punk bands in the GDR. It formed in East Berlin in 1980 and broke up in 1983. Its members were Michael Kobs (guitar), Bernd-Michael Lade (drums), Daniel Kaiser (bass) and Michael "Pankow" Boehlke (vocals).

The origins of ‚Planlos‘ can be traced to a basement project called AFS (Antifaschistischer Schutzwall, or Anti-fascist security wall) which began in 1979 and featured Bernd Michael Lade (Vocals), Frank Straßburger (Guitar; later drummer in Cadavre Exquis) and Martin Leeder (Drums, later, among others in Elektro Artist). ‚Planlos‘ formed in 1980 when Lade joined together with Michael Kobs (Guitar; previously, Betonromantik ‚Concrete Romanticism‘) and Daniel Kaiser (Bass).

By 1982, the band was so well-known to the security services of the GDR that they changed their name to Exzess (Excess) before the quartet finally broke up in 1983. Kaiser joined Namenlos (Without a Name) and Fatale in 1984 while Lade, Kobs and Straßburger founded Cadavre Exquis in 1985.
