    The American Nightmare, or the Revelation of the Uncanny in three documentary films by Werner Herzog La pesadilla americana, o la revelación de lo extraño en tres documentales de DIEGO ZAVALA SCHERER1 Werner Herzog http://orcid.org/0000-0002-7362-4709 This paper analyzes three Werner Herzog’s films: How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck (1976), Huie’s Sermon (1981) and God´s Angry Man (1981) through his use of the sequence shot as a documentary device. Despite the strong relation of this way of shooting with direct cinema, Herzog deconstructs its use to generate moments of filmic revelation, away from a mere recording of events. KEYWORDS:Documentary device, sequence shot, Werner Herzog, direct cinema, ecstasy. El presente artículo analiza tres obras de la filmografía de Werner Herzog: How Much Wood Would a Woodchuck Chuck (1976), Huie´s Sermon (1981) y God´s Angry Man (1981), a partir del uso del plano secuencia como dispositivo documental. A pesar del vínculo de esta forma de puesta en cámara con el cine directo, Herzog deconstruye su uso para la generación de momentos de revelación fílmica, lejos del simple registro.

  • “Of the Creatures Who Are Doomed to Perish, to Fall”: Mythology and Time
    “Of the Creatures who are doomed to perish, to fall”: Mythology and Time in Herzog’s Apocalyptic, Science Fiction Films Tyson Namow This essay analyses German filmmaker Werner Herzog’s (b. 1942- ) films Fata Morgana (1970), Lessons of Darkness (Lektionen in Finsternis ) (1992) and The Wild Blue Yonder (2005). Each of these films shares formal char- acteristics, such as being divided by chapter inter-titles and using voice over narration. However, they also have different iconographic features. Fata Morgana is set in the natural, desert landscapes of Africa. It shows quiet, other-worldly beauty among the ruins of civilisation. The landscapes in this film contain disintegrating relics of human culture, such as wrecked automobiles, aeroplanes and other machine parts. It is not until the twenty- minute mark of the film that the first human figure is seen. They are sub- limely dwarfed on the horizon line of an immense desert terrain. Lessons of Darkness is set in Kuwait at the end of the first Gulf War during the period when the last of the burning oil wells were being extinguished. The film presents Kuwait as an unnamed planet that exists somewhere in our solar system. On the one hand, the audience knows that this planet is Earth and that it has been devastated by human action. On the other hand, the film also presents it as a mutilated planet on fire that reflects Herzog’s private, apocalyptic imagination. The Wild Blue Yonder is largely comprised of dif- ferent found-footage. This includes images shot under an ice sheet in Ant- arctica by Henry Kaiser and images shot in 1991 by astronauts from inside COLLOQUY text theory critique 21 (2011).

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Fernão Vitor Pessoa de Almeida Ramos CAMPINAS, 2012 iii iv v vi Resumo Este trabalho pretende analisar a obra de documentários do cineasta alemão Werner Herzog sob a ótica da autorreflexão do diretor, através de sua voz e de seu corpo, em seus documentários e da relação estabelecida entre Herzog e a narrativa em cada filme. Procura- se estabelecer como a característica nasceu em sua filmografia e como evoluiu ao longo das cinco décadas de sua atividade como cineasta. Relacionam-se os processos da inserção de Werner Herzog em seus filmes com a teoria, própria do campo do Cinema Documentário, referente à inserção do sujeito-da-câmera na narrativa fílmica. Tomando como ponto de partida as reflexões surgidas no final da década de 1950 acerca da participação do cineasta na narrativa (Cinema Vérité) até as teorias de uma narrativa documentária profundamente voltada para o universo do próprio cineasta, popularizadas nos anos 1980, pode-se dizer que a autorreflexão do cineasta na narrativa é uma questão viva no campo teórico do Cinema Documentário e que é constantemente problematizada e renovada na produção documentária contemporânea. Palavras-Chave: Werner Herzog, Cinema Documentário, Subjetividade, Autoria. vii viii Abstract This work intends to analyse german filmmaker's Werner Herzog documentary ouevre, under the optics of the director's voice and body self-reflexion in his documentaries and the relationship between Herzog and his narratives in each work.

DR. DANIEL BILTEREYST COMMISSARIS: PHILIPPE VAN MEERBEECK COMMISSARIS: GERTJAN WILLEMS ACADEMIEJAAR 2011 - 2012 ABSTRACT Werner Herzog, algemeen beschouwd als deel uitmakend van de Neue Deutsche Film beweging, kende het laatste decennium een revival en een hernieuwde waardering van zijn werk. In deze thesis wordt onderzocht hoe Herzogs concept van 'the ecstatic truth' in vele gevallen in strijd is met de genreregels van de documentaire, en zich tegelijk bevindt op de dunne grens tussen fictie en documentaire. Na een korte uiteenzetting van Herzogs leven en werk ga ik dieper in op zijn basisconcept van 'the ecstatic truth'. Vervolgens is er een bespreking van een tiental van Herzogs vroege documentaires, waarin wordt op zoek gegaan naar 'the ecstatic truth'. Na een schetsing van enkele analysemodellen wordt aangetoond dat dit concept gevormd wordt op alle niveaus van analyse, wat duidt op de elasticiteit ervan. Uiteindelijk wordt een van Herzogs meest recente films, Cave of Forgotten Dreams, geanalyseerd op alle niveaus van de modellen, op zoek naar het concept van 'the ecstatic truth'. Dit concept blijkt nog steeds nadrukkelijk aanwezig te zijn in Herzogs manier van realiteitsvorming, zij het in een iets minder flagrante vorm dan ooit het geval was. Herzogs zoektocht is er een naar een perspectief buiten onze werkelijkheid, die weliswaar na al die jaren nog steeds de grenzen van het genre aftast, maar deze grenzen tegelijk overstijgt.

  • Family Romance, LLC“ Auf MUBI
    Filmgespräch & Screening von „Family Romance, LLC“ auf MUBI Beim kuratierten Streaming-Dienst MUBI ist ab Freitag, 3. Juli 2020, 24 Stunden lang die kostenlose Online-Preview von Werner Herzogs neuer Doku-Fiction „Familiy Romance, LLC“ zu sehen. Zusätzlich gibt es ein ausführliches Regiegespräch mit dem bekannten Filmemacher. Family Romance, LLC – ein Spielfilm mit dokumentarischem Einfluss Die neue Doku-Fiction von Werner Herzog thematisiert ein sehr außergewöhnliches Konzept: Die Firma „Family Romance“ in Japan, gegründet und geführt von Yuichi Ishii, vermietet Personen für verschiedene Anlässe. Ob für eine Familienfeier, als Ersatzvater oder als Ehemann. Die Vermietung bringt vor allem eines: Die Menschen, die sie nutzen, sind nicht allein. Für den Film spielt Ishii, CEO von „Family Romance“, höchstpersönlich die Rolle des Ersatzvaters für die zwölfjährige Mahiro, deren Vater seit zehn Jahren verschwunden ist. Und das macht die eigentlich fiktionale Erzählung zu etwas Besonderem. Die Kamera begleitet die beiden in ihrem „normalen“ Alltag, ohne einem festgelegten Ablauf zu folgen – authentisch, lebensecht und doch inszeniert. Werner Herzog spielt hier mit verschiedenen Genres, pendelt zwischen Fiktion und Wahrheit. Doku-Fiction kostenlos auf MUBI Auf MUBI ist die neue Doku-Fiction nun am Freitag, den 3. Juli 2020, für 24 Stunden kostenlos abrufbar. In einem zusätzlichen Gespräch erfährt man zudem mehr über die Intentionen des Filmemachers und seine Erfahrungen während des Drehs. Interessant ist beispielsweise, dass intelligente Übersetzungsprogramme bei der Verständigung zwischen Herzog und den „Schauspielenden“ geholfen haben. MUBI hat sich als kuratierter Streaming-Dienst zum Ziel gesetzt qualitativ hochwertige (Arthouse-)Filme in seinen Portalen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Täglich wird ein Film von den zuständigen Kurator*innen für die Mitglieder des Portals ausgewählt.

  • CINEMA 12 76 the AFRICAN TWIN TOWERS UNVEILING the CREATIVE PROCESS in CHRISTOPH SCHLINGENSIEF's LATE FILM WORK Jeremy Hamers
    CINEMA 12 76 THE AFRICAN TWIN TOWERS UNVEILING THE CREATIVE PROCESS IN CHRISTOPH SCHLINGENSIEF’S LATE FILM WORK Jeremy Hamers1 (University of Liège) In 1999, during one of Christoph Schlingensief’s appearances in the German talk show “Grüner Salon” (N-TV), journalist Erich Böhme blamed the director, political performer and dramatic author for having invited Horst Mahler, an (in)famous member of the far right party NPD2, to give a public speech at the Berlin Volksbühne. The interview soon became very tense. But during this short conflictual exchange, Schlingensief made a remarkable statement about broadcasted pictures, the material body and the political. - Böhme: “Don’t you run the risk of promoting the right-wing scene? After all, they could say, ‘Aha! He even includes us in his performance. He gives Mahler, who’s closely linked to the NPD, excellent publicity!” - Schlingensief [interrupting Böhme]: “Mr Böhme, I didn’t want to say this, but when you, in your show… that was interesting… I had Mr Mahler and Mr Oberlercher3 down here at the Volksbühne, on the stage – and one could jump on the stage, and some people actually did. And Oberlercher shouted at some point, ‘Leibstandarte, Leibstandarte!’4 and whatever else. This man is completely nuts. This man is running on empty. Mr Mahler is also running on empty. They are all people who are running on empty. And I’m absolutely not.” - B.: “But why do you put them on the stage?” - S.: “But sitting in your show, Mr Böhme, was Mr Haider.5 And you just played with your glasses while asking in a jokey way, ‘Are you a populist? Are you a neonazi?’ Right? And I was sitting in front of my television screen, I was sitting there – and I wished I could put my hand inside the television! I thought, ‘That just can’t be true.

  • Conceiving Grizzly Man Through the "Powers of the False" Eric Dewberry, Georgia State University, US
    Conceiving Grizzly Man through the "Powers of the False" Eric Dewberry, Georgia State University, US Directed by New German Cinema pioneer Werner Herzog, Grizzly Man (2005) traces the tragic adventures of Timothy Treadwell, self-proclaimed ecologist and educator who spent thirteen summers living among wild brown bears in the Katmai National Park, unarmed except for a photographic and video camera. In 2003, Treadwell and his girlfriend, Amy Huguenard, were mauled to death and devoured by a wild brown bear. The event is captured on audiotape, and their remains were found in the area around their tent and inside Bear #141, who was later killed by park officials. Herzog's documentary is assembled through interviews of friends close to Treadwell, various professionals, family, and more than 100 hours of footage that Treadwell himself captured in his last five years in Alaska. Grizzly Man is more than a conventional wildlife documentary, as the title of the film emphasizes the centrality of the main protagonist to the story. Herzog subjectively structures the film to take the viewer on a dialectical quest between his and Treadwell's visions about man versus nature and life versus death. As Thomas Elsaesser recognized early in Herzog's career, the filmmaker is famous for reveling in the lives of eccentric characters, who can be broken down into two different subjects: "overreachers," like the prospecting rubber baron Fitzcarraldo and the maniacal conquistador Aguirre, or "underdogs" like Woyzeck, all of them played by the equally unconventional German actor Klaus Kinski (Elsaesser, 1989). Including Herzog's documentary subjects, they are all outsiders, living on the edge, and in excessive pursuit of their goals in violation of what is considered normal and ordinary in society.
