Josef Winkler – The Cinemascreenwalker

Filmplakat mit dem Titel 'Josef Winkler DER KINOLEINWANDGEHER EL CAMINANTE DE LA PANTALLA' zeigt eine Person, die eine Zeitung liest, im Hintergrund Fenster mit Pflanzen und hellem Tageslicht.

The cameraeye conducts the author Josef Winkler on his literary journey through Austria and Mexico. The documentary roadmovie is told in episodes. Twelve steps lead us from the sacred barn of a small Carinthian farm to the dance on the volcano. Contradictorily and with a precise view on people's issues the film reveals a passionate, disputatious mind and tries to portray a great writer of our times.
