Josef Winkler, der Kinoleinwandgeher

Josef Winkler, the Cinemascreenwalker

Winnetou 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 young Josef W. follows the action with big eyes, mesmerized. The Cinemascreenwalker appears. The successful author Josef Winkler descends from the screen and looks – with a mischievous smile – at his child Alter Ego. This is the start of a frantic journey, a cineastic essay, which hijacks the onlookers, leading them through Austria, Mexico and India into the world of Josef Winkler's "images of remembering". The camera's eye accompanies the successful Austrian author and the audience in a poetic road movie, jumps in clips and reverse angles from the "hallowed stable" in a Carinthian mountain village to the banks of the Ganges, and immediately afterwards to the edge of the Popocatépetl, experiencing a volcanic eruption.
