Eddy L. Harris - A Writer in
France Written and directed by Holger Lang
Produced by Holger Lang & Elizabeth Zoe Knass |
| We join the American writer Eddy L. Harris on his way home
from one of his many journeys and we visit him in his chosen place of
residence in France. Harris tells us about his books, his family, his life,
and his upcoming plans and he also lets us get a look at his everyday life
and his work. In a lighthearted yet still intimate way the picture of a man
who had explored his own roots as an American with an African origin and who
had found in France the country that he wants to spend his future in is
presented in this documentary. Eddy Harris allows us to visit and to watch
him and gives us the opportunity to get a feeling for the person behind the
writer. With minimal technical efforts and in a casual style we follow the
author and see how he lives and works. Without any glamour and with the same
difficulties that we all have to face in our own lives a writer like him
produces his work. We wanted to capture a bit of the interaction of the
regular-guy behind the writer with the world around him. He had chosen the
heart of France as the place where he wants to live and we gave this region
some space to appear. Watching him and listening requires attention and
patience. At a specific moment and a specific location a snapshot of an
artist was taken, this snapshot takes up almost two hours, but it contains a
good insight into this writers life. Recorded in Bruxelles, Paris, Tours,
and Pontlevoy in October 2002
Completed in 2005, this is a PAL DVD (European format)
but can also be played on a computer DVD player
