WHO IS BOZO TEXINO? at Crescent Theater in Mobile, AL
"Who is Bozo Texino?" chronicles the search for the source of a ubiquitous and mythic rail graffiti a simple sketch of a character with an infinity-shaped hat and the scrawled moniker, "Bozo Texino" a drawing seen on railcars for over 80 years. Daniel's gritty black and white film uncovers a secret society and it's underground universe of hobo and railworker graffiti, and includes interviews with legendary boxcar artists, Coaltrain, Herby, Colossus of Roads, and The Rambler. Shooting over a 16-year period, Daniel rode freights across the West carrying a Super-8 sound camera and a 16mm Bolex. During his quest he discovered the roots of a folkloric tradition that has gone mostly unnoticed for a century. Taking inspiration from Beat artists Robert Frank and Jack Kerouac, the film functions as both a sub-cultural documentary and a stylized fable on wanderlust and outsider identity.
A Q&A with filmmaker BILL DANIEL will follow the screening, and there will be an accompanying art installation in the warehouse at 110 Dauphin St, directly next door to the Crescent.
