Film focuses on fluctuating fortunes of famed fictional flimflammer and his friends and foes, featuring him firstly flourishing and finally flopping from his fixation on feckless facades. Following formative folly - falling for flirtatious family-member, fighting her fatality faking fiancé in face-off with firearms and firing first - film’s free-and-easy fulcrum flees in flight as fugitive for false fear of fine or forfeiture of freedom. Fleeced by fiendish freebooter and forced to footpad for five-miles, film’s figurehead files into fatherland’s…

The Fire Within: Requiem for Katia and Maurice Krafft 2022
Applauded and aged almost-Austrian auteur asks and answers; are acclaimed academics actually accomplished adventuring artists?

Razzennest 2022
"I refuse to show the thing I want to address."
Razzennest is a riveting and radical film within a film exploring the echoed traumas of violence long passed.
