WHO IS BOZO TEXINO?

2005, 56 minuites, 16mm & Super-8 transferred to Digibeta, B&W

 

Frieght rider and van tramp, Bill Daniels is back on tour screening his 16-year-in-the-making documentary film WHO IS BOZO TEXINO?, the secret history of hobo graffiti. This gritty black-and-white documentary tells the mostly-factual account of the epic quest and unlikely discovery of railroading's most mysterious artist.

In 1987 Daniel and his trusty Bolex camera began riding frieghts across the West, looking for clues to the identity of a strange boxcar graffito. While gathering interviews, Daniel discovered a vast underground folkloric practice that has existed with little notice for over a century. Today these drawings live on as a new breed of hobos have taken to the rails and kept the tradition of "moniker chalking" alive.
