CINEMASCREENWALKER / KINOLEINWANDGEHER by Michael Pfeifenberger and Josef Winkler
Winter dies in the arms of his blood brother Old Shatterhand. In Cinemascope, on the screen of a small village cinema in Carinthia. In the audience a small boy, the adolescent Josef W. (played by Kasimir Winkler), follows the action with big eyes, mesmerized.
The episodic film portrait is not a biography of Josef Winkler, nor an attempt to ?translate? one of Winkler´s books for the screen. The film moves between facts and fictions, between Josef Winkler, the author and Winkler, the family man, the literary construct of the first person narrator in Josef Winkler´s work. Staged scenes alternate with magnificent feature film like scenes. India is counterpoint with Carinthia.
