    DOC NYC ANNOUNCES FINAL TITLES INCLUDING WORLD PREMIERE OF BRUCE SPRINGSTREEN & THE E STREET BAND’S “DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN” CONCERT FILM AT ZIEGFELD THEATER ON NOVEMBER 4TH AND “MOMENTS OF TRUTH” FEATURING ALEC BALDWIN AND OTHER FAMOUS FIGURES DISCUSSING THEIR FAVORITE DOC MOMENTS New York, NY, October 19th 2010 - DOC NYC, New York’s Documentary Festival, announced its final slate of titles including the world premiere of “Darkness on the Edge of Town,” a new concert film with Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band performing their classic album. The film will screen at the Ziegfeld Theatre on November 4. Directed by the Grammy and Emmy award winner Thom Zimny, the film was shot last year at the Paramount Theatre in Asbury Park, NJ in an unconventional manner without any audience in attendance. Springsteen’s manager Jon Landau has said this presentation “best captures the starkness of the original album.” The film will be released on DVD as part of the box set “The Promise: The Darkness on the Edge of Town Story” later in November. “We wanted to give fans a one night only opportunity to see this spectacular performance on the Ziegfeld’s big screen,” said DOC NYC Artistic Director Thom Powers. A portion of the proceeds from this screening will be donated to the Danny Fund/Melanoma Research Alliance – a non-profit foundation devoted to advancing melanoma research and awareness set up after the 2008 passing of Danny Federici, longtime Springsteen friend and E-Street Band member. DOC NYC will help launch a new promo campaign of shorts called “Moments of Truth,” in which noteworthy figures (actors, politicians, musicians, etc) describe particular documentary moments that moved them.

  • O Romance O Vice-Rei De Uidá, De Bruce Chatwin, E O Filmecobra Verde, De Werner Herzog: Um Estudo Da Transposição Midiática
    O romance O vice-rei de Uidá, de Bruce Chatwin, e o filmeCobra verde, de Werner Herzog: um estudo da transposição midiática Maria Cristina Cardoso Ribas Mariana Castro de Alencar (...) uma nuvem sem contornos passa acima dele mudando constantemente de forma. Ora, o que se pode conhecer de uma nuvem, senão adivinhando-a sem nunca apreendê-la inteiramente? Georges Didi-Huberman Introdução – Falando de obras pouco difundidas quase desconhecido romance O Vice-Rei de Uidá (1980), do inglês Bruce Chatwin, inspirado na vida do traficante de escravos Francisco Félix de O Souza,1 recebeu, através do cineasta alemão Werner Herzog, uma releitura fílmica igualmente pouco conhecida, com o belo título Cobra Verde (1987). Ambos, escritor britânico e cineasta alemão, parceiros e amigos em franca desarmonia, en- toaram um fabuloso desconcerto a quatro mãos. Entre o documentário e a ficção, entre a grafia e a vida, entre a literatura e o cinema, neste saudável contágio, falaremos sobre o processo de transposição midi- ática, trazendo breve incursão teórica e a prática desenvolvida por estas polêmicas figuras. Para estudar a migração do texto literário para o fílmico, temos o aporte teórico das Intermidialidades (Clüver, 2006). A pesquisa sobre a Intermidialidade tem um inventário crítico fixo na comunidade de pesquisa de falantes de alemão, e amplo desenvolvimento em vários países da Europa e Estados Unidos; na Uni- versidade de Montreal, Canadá, foi criado, no ano de 1997, o Centre de Recherche sur l’Intermedialité (C.R.I.).2 36 ALCEU - v.18 - n.36 -

  • The American Nightmare, Or the Revelation of the Uncanny in Three
    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.

  • Abel Ferrara
    A FILM BY Abel Ferrara Ray Ruby's Paradise, a classy go go cabaret in downtown Manhattan, is a dream palace run by charismatic impresario Ray Ruby, with expert assistance from a bunch of long-time cronies, sidekicks and colourful hangers on, and featuring the most beautiful and talented girls imaginable. But all is not well in Paradise. Ray's facing imminent foreclosure. His dancers are threatening a strip-strike. Even his brother and financier wants to pull the plug. But the dreamer in Ray will never give in. He's bought a foolproof system to win the Lottery. One magic night he hits the jackpot. And loses the ticket... A classic screwball comedy in the madcap tradition of Frank Capra, Billy Wilder and Preston Sturges, from maverick auteur Ferrara. DIRECTOR’S NOTE “A long time ago, when 9 and 11 were just 2 odd numbers, I lived above a fire house on 18th and Broadway. Between the yin and yang of the great Barnes and Noble book store and the ultimate sports emporium, Paragon, around the corner from Warhol’s last studio, 3 floors above, overlooking Union Square. Our local bar was a gothic church made over into a rock and roll nightmare called The Limelite. The club was run by a gang of modern day pirates with Nicky D its patron saint. For whatever reason, the neighborhood became a haven for topless clubs. The names changed with the seasons but the core crews didn't. Decked out in tuxes and razor haircuts, they manned the velvet ropes that separated the outside from the in, 100%.

  • An Anguished Self-Subjection: Man and Animal in Werner Herzog's Grizzly
    An Anguished Self-Subjection: Man and Animal in Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man Stefan Mattessich Santa Monica College Do we not see around and among us men and peoples who no longer have any essence or identity—who are delivered over, so to speak, to their inessentiality and their inactivity—and who grope everywhere, and at the cost of gross falsifications, for an inheritance and a task, an inheritance as task? Giorgio Agamben The Open erner herzog’s interest in animals goes hand in hand with his Winterest in a Western civilizational project that entails crossing and dis- placing borders on every level, from the most geographic to the most corporeal and psychological. Some animals are merely present in a scene; early in Fitzcarraldo, for instance, its eponymous hero—a European in early-twentieth-century Peru—plays on a gramophone a recording of his beloved Enrico Caruso for an audience that includes a pig. Others insist in his films as metaphors: the monkeys on the raft as the frenetic materializa- tion of the conquistador Aguirre’s final insanity. Still others merge with characters: subtly in the German immigrant Stroszek, who kills himself on a Wisconsin ski lift because he cannot bear to be treated like an animal anymore or, literally in the case of the vampire Nosferatu, a kindred spirit ESC 39.1 (March 2013): 51–70 to bats and wolves. But, in every film, Herzog is centrally concerned with what Agamben calls the “anthropological machine” running at the heart of that civilizational project, which functions to decide on the difference between man and animal.

  • Franz A. Birgel Muhlenberg College
    Werner Herzog's Debt to Georg Buchner Franz A. Birgel Muhlenberg College The filmmaker Wemcr Herzog has been labeled eve1)1hing from a romantic, visionary idealist and seeker of transcendence to a reactionary. regressive fatalist and t)Tannical megalomaniac. Regardless of where viewers may place him within these e:-..1reme positions of the spectrum, they will presumably all admit that Herzog personifies the true auteur, a director whose unmistakable style and wor1dvie\v are recognizable in every one of his films, not to mention his being a filmmaker whose art and projected self-image merge to become one and the same. He has often asserted that film is the art of i1literates and should not be a subject of scholarly analysis: "People should look straight at a film. That's the only \vay to see one. Film is not the art of scholars, but of illiterates. And film culture is not analvsis, it is agitation of the mind. Movies come from the count!)' fair and circus, not from art and academicism" (Greenberg 174). Herzog wants his ideal viewers to be both mesmerized by his visual images and seduced into seeing reality through his eyes. In spite of his reference to fairgrounds as the source of filmmaking and his repeated claims that his ·work has its source in images, it became immediately transparent already after the release of his first feature film that literature played an important role in the development of his films, a fact which he usually downplays or effaces. Given Herzog's fascination with the extremes and mysteries of the human condition as well as his penchant for depicting outsiders and eccentrics, it comes as no surprise that he found a kindred spirit in Georg Buchner whom he has called "probably the most ingenious writer for the stage that we ever had" (Walsh 11).

  • “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.

'It all happens here:' Locating Salvation in Abel Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant Abstract Bad Lieutenant offers a both a narrative and a theology of salvation. Both are focussed on the death of the Lieutenant at the end of the film. This essay traces these accounts of salvation and finds that they are both flawed, in nature and scope. These flaws derive from an exclusive focus on the death of the Lieutenant and the cross of Christ as the loci of salvation. The value of Ferrara's work is in the articulation of these flaws, as they point to dangers for Christian theology as it seeks to articulate the salvation offered by Christ. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol7/iss1/4 Taylor: 'It all happens here' At the end of Abel Ferrara's film Bad Lieutenant (1992), the Lieutenant (never named and referred to in the credits simply as Lt) sits in his car in front of a sign that reads 'It all happens here'.
