About event
Special screening of the documentary film "Henry Fonda for President" by Alexander Horwath.
Followed by a film discussion between Alexander Horwath and Christian Petzold and screening of a short film by Christian Petzold and Christoph Hochhäusler (with Henry Fonda).
A documentary essay about the USA - viewed through the magnifying glass of a film actor. Henry Fonda and his roles merge into a dazzling and conflicted figure. A very reserved person who sees himself as anonymous, as a "blank space", becomes the engine, the secret author of a great American narrative.
His voice, recorded in 1981 during his last interview, and the characters he played lead through the film - and on a road trip across the USA: from a place called Fonda, NY, via the Midwest, where the actor grew up, to the Pacific.
And they lead through the country's history, from 1651 to the 1980s, when another film actor became US President.
