BUFFALO

The film was shot in Vienna. 31 of October 2001. Buffalo is a Canadian Indian who lives in Austria. His job was to be an Indian in an Indian village, created for educational reasons in the outskirts of Vienna. He was telling about Indian culture to visitors, showing his paintings dressed with his original tribe outfit. By the time I met him he had left his job. He had taken all his paintings to his home in Vienna and opened it for public. I was among the first visitors. When a friend took me to see this "gallery", Buffalo was just coming back from a Halloween party dressed as a transsexual. I asked him to explain to me his pictures.
