THE ECSTATIC TRUTHS OF WERNER HERZOG: Documentaries, 1971-1992

Co-presented by Goethe-Institut Los Angeles

In recent years, audiences have become more aware of Herzog's skills as a documentarian, but a closer look at his career shows a fascination with the non-fiction form going back to the very beginning. No one has done more than Herzog to promulgate the deeper truth that every fiction film has an element of documentary, and that all documentaries are constructed fictions. Herzog's docs show an appreciation for imagination, poetry, adventure, and most of all—how documentaries at their best can be an expression of one artist's vision of the world. Join Cinefamily for twelve of his finest early docs! April 1-3 & 8, 2011. More info and screening schedule: www.cinefamily.org/calendar/herzog.html
