«America is the force field of the film.»
America is always waiting to be rediscovered. In his essay film HENRY FONDA FOR PRESIDENT, on the works of the eminent
Hollywood star, Alexander Horwath embarks on a wide-ranging journey of exploration into well-known and lesser-known territories.
He interweaves the family history of the Fondas, the body of work created by one of their most prolific offspring and excerpts
from the past and present of the United States, creating a polyphonic and at the same time very personal homage to a multifaceted
country and the uncountable versions of itself that emerge from the dream factory.
