Filme mit jüdischer Identität im Kreuzberger Off-Kino Eiszeit
AVIVA-Redaktion
Kinky Friedman is "Proud to be an asshole from El Paso" - a film by Simone de Vries. Starring Kinky Friedman, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett and Bill Clinton
Seit März 04 ist Suzan Beermann alleinige Betreiberin des traditionsreichen Kreuzberger Off-Kino Eiszeit. Schwerpunkte hat sie auf jüdische-israelische Filme, StudentInnenfilme, Kurzfilme, Lesungen, Performances und Musikveranstaltungen gelegt.
Die Veranstalterin legt in ihrer Planung wert darauf, daß die RegisseurInnen/KünstlerInnen bei der Premiere anwesend sind und sich danach einer Diskussion mit dem Publikum stellen.
Das Filmportrait von Simone de Vries über Kinky Friedman, "Proud to be an asshole from El Paso" läuft täglich um 19:00, 20:15, 23:00, ab 19. August 04 um 20:15 Uhr und 23:00 Uhr.
A film portrait of Kinky Friedman, the Texan writer, singer, songwriter.
Documentary about the Jewish-Texan Singer/Writer Kinky Friedman, a man with a very strong image: always wearing a black Stetson and a big (Cuban) cigar in his mouth.
He was a countrysinger in the 1970´s and founder of "The Texas Jewboys", with famous songs like: "They ain´t making Jews like Jesus anymore" and "Ride `m Jewboy", the first countrysong about the holocaust.
Nowadays Kinky Friedman is a writer -he fled New York in the 1980´s to live in Texas again on a lonely ranch - of mystery novels, starring himself as a Jewish, cigar smoking detective. He has written 14 of them and has grown a little tired of doing it. He travels the world to promote his books and his latest CD. This "tribute" album became a cult-success because of the covers by Willie Nelson, Tom Waits, Dwight Yoakam and many more. Will he dare to write that "Great American Novel" after all, or is he better of as the politically incorrect cult-hero he is today?
