Professor by Daniel Kraus
USA, 2010, 75 minutes, digital projection
A college education has become part of the American dream. But what are we learning and who is teaching us?
For nearly four decades, Rabbi Jay Holstein has been one of the University of Iowaâs most popular professors. With a foul mouth, a raunchy sense of humor, and a piercing brilliance, Holstein uses massive 500-student lectures to turn inside-out the most fundamental assumptions on topics as divergent as sex, suicide, and the Holocaust. His courses, including âQuest for Human Destiny,â have become the stuff of campus legend, and between firing a Glock and running 10 miles per day, the 69-year-old Holstein spends his office hours wrestling with students over animal experimentation, alcohol use, and homosexuality.
Following the internationally acclaimed cinéma vérité of Sheriff and Musician, Professor tackles intellectual labor and in doing so grapples with some of lifeâs greatest and most elemental enigmas.
âEndlessly intriguing⦠Makes for some of the unlikeliest drama on the scene today.â â" S.T. Vanairsdale, Movieline
âRECOMMENDED. An excellent new documentary⦠For all his idiosyncrasies, Holstein and his gargantuan shtick provide an object lesson in how the medieval lecture format can still be made to work in our multimedia age.â -Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader
âThe film affords the pleasures of a good college course⦠Itâs hardly a coincidence that the best [WORK Series film], Professor, follows the person with the most specialized profession, as well as the most outsized personality.â -Ben Kenigsberg, Time Out Chicago
Daniel Kraus, a Fairfield, Iowa native, completed his first feature-length documentary during his senior year of college. The film, Jefftowne, told the story of a controversial man with Down Syndrome. Jefftowne premiered at the Slamdance Film Festival, and won the âFestival Choice Awardâ at the New York Underground Film Festival. Krausâ subsequent film, the narrative feature Ball of Wax won the Directorâs Award at the Cinequest San Jose Festival.
Sheriff, the first film in Krausâs WORK series, premiered on the Emmy Award-winning PBS series âIndependent Lens,â and has found international acclaim for its subtle, deft handling of everyday Americana. Musician, the second entry, has found equal acclaim in theaters, television, and on DVD.
Kraus works almost totally alone on the WORK series, performing as producer, director, camera operator, sound recordist, and editor. He has quietly forged a reputation as a one-man documentary film studio.
Between shooting films, Kraus works in Chicago as a writer and editor, contributing to such publications as Playboy, Cosmopolitan, Salon.com, and Maxim. Random house published his first novel, The Monster Variations, in 2009, and will publish his forthcoming novel, Rotters, in 2011.
