Ovo Maltine

Long seemed invalid the Prophet's word, / But honored it was, by the outcome at last: / How odd the madness, how strange a death! (Ovid, Metamorphoses) NARCISSUS AND ECHO, a short film by Michael Brynntrup, is a “delightfully mannered game of deception, honored by the German Film Critics Association as the best experimental film of 1990. A highlight of camp aesthetic.” (Rundbrief Film) The director describes NARCISSUS AND ECHO as a film in the form of a riddle, a special kind of entertainment film whereby the film's content must be deduced from the film's formal structure.

UNPUBLISHED!- A BONUS TRACK is a bonus interview from the Michael Brynntrup film THE OVO, which appeared on the special edition DVD 'Berlinale Rolle 2', published by tip-magazin.

THE OVO (OVO - THE VIDEO) is a short film by Berlin film artist and icon Michael Brynntrup. "It's not about how a drag queen moves, it's about what she sets in motion." (Ovo Maltine) “The Ovo is a documentary about Christoph Josten, better known as the Polit-queer and AIDS activist Ovo Maltine. Excerpts from talk shows, footage of demonstrations and personal interviews paint a portrait of a fascinating personality.” (Queer Film Festival Rostock, July 2010)
