![]() ![]() #KINSKI I AM JESUS CHRIST TV#No one realizes that I could potentially open a new market for their material, such as international TV distribution. I would have also loved to add English subtitles for example, but this too is hindered by burocracy since I would have to buy the international distribution rights in order to do so. What’s really grotesque is that the TV stations themselves wouldn’t be able to market these interviews for a DVD without my OK due to Kinski’s intellectual property rights. So I try to release the ones which are made available to me. This is n ot affordable, particularly for a project that isn’t planned for mass production. But many of them insist on their normal per minute price, which is about 5 times more expensive than buying the rights to an average feature film. You can’t explain to them that it’s a different situation when a DVD is entirely made up of bonus material. This will never happen though since the TV stations involved are in the habit of asking for a lot of money for even only 5 minutes of bonus material for a DVD. PG: I would have liked to be able to release them all. But I always loved the two vinyl albums I had of Kinski in my youth, especially his Nietzsche recitations which are quite extraordinary.ĭDS: With regards to the Kinski Talks DVDs how do you select the shows to include? ![]() This can be said of only a small percentage of Kinski’s films. PG: No, I have always been a great admirer of film as an art form. That is how my involvement with the Estate of Klaus Kinski began.ĭDS: Were you already an admirer of Klaus Kinski’s work? I saw the potential danger of these originals ending up in a private collection, bought them myself and got in touch with the heirs in order to make the poems accessible to everyone. And it was then that I found an online auction catalogue, which was selling original hand written and typed poems by Kinski. In early 1999, I was googling copyright violations on the internet- actually it was with Fireball, Google didn’t exist yet. Although he has an absolute cult status here, he is not known outside of Germany quite obviously due to the language barrier. In terms of his sense of humor, he would best be compared to Monty Python. PG: I’ve been working for a German phenomenon named Loriot for over 18 years. #KINSKI I AM JESUS CHRIST PLUS#He agreed to an interview and here it is:ĭDS: I understand that you were appointed the archivist / administrator of Klaus Kinski’s Estate in 1999 and that since then you have worked on the official Kinski Estate releases, such as the DVDs – most notably Jesus Christus Erlöser, which was a major achievement, and the Kinski Talks DVDs – plus the book of Klaus’ poetry Fieber, the Suhrkamp BasisBiographie and a vast number of the literary audio recordings. ![]() Goddamnit, I need to buy another DVD! When I get a copy of this I’ll review it, but in the meantime I managed to track down Peter Geyer, the Kinski Estate Archivist and Kinski biographer, who brings us such gems as Jesus Christus Erlöser and the Kinski Talks series. ![]() Unbelievably I’d just managed to track down Jay Miracle’s KlausKinski.45Minutes film when I heard that a longer version was being released on the official Klaus Kinski Estate Edition DVD Kinski Talks 2 in April 2011. ![]()
