Breaking your neck while jumping off a ladder into a swimming pool is all part of the job. Ralph Zavadil, better known as Cap’n Video, is a crazy video artist whose stunt clips reached cult status in the 1990s. Long before Johnny Knoxville and Co. made a name for themselves on MTV’s ‘Jackass’, Cap’n Video was undertaking madcap missions for Ontario’s local TV station using his favourite props: a skateboard, a torch helmet and fire. Ten years after the programme was cancelled, Ralph is planning a comeback for the 20th anniversary of Cap’n Video. In addition to numerous clips from his video collection, this documentary also includes interviews with a more contemplative, quiet Ralph, and with friends and family members. This is an entertaining portrait of an unconventional man, whose insatiable hunger for life finds its expression in crazy stunts. (Zurich Film Festival)
