In the organizer's words:
Special screening of the documentary "Henry Fonda for President" by Alexander Horwath.
Followed by a film talk between Alexander Horwath and Christian Petzold and a screening of a short film by Christian Petzold and Christoph Hochhäusler (with Henry Fonda).
A documentary essay about the USA - viewed through the lens of a film actor. Henry Fonda and his roles merge into a dazzling and conflict-laden figure. A very reserved man who sees himself as anonymous, as a "blank space", becomes the driving force, the secret author of a great American narrative.
His voice, recorded in 1981 during his last interview, and the characters he played lead us 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 take us through the history of the country, from 1651 to the 1980s, when another movie actor became US president.
