About This Movie
The Magic Tape is a documentary film from 1959 directed by Ferdinand Khittl. This short film was commissioned by BASF and focuses on the use of magnetic tape.
This film is quite scarce, likely due to its niche subject matter and the limited distribution typical of educational shorts in the late '50s. Collectors often search for it, drawn not just by its content but by the historical context it offers regarding audio technology. Most copies you'll find are on older formats, and there’s a certain charm in the way it presents magnetic tape as a marvel of its time. It’s definitely one of those pieces that sparks conversations among collectors.
