  • Mediated Meetings in Grizzly Man
    An Argument across Time and Space: Mediated Meetings in Grizzly Man TRENT GRIFFITHS, Deakin University, Melbourne ABSTRACT In Werner Herzog’s 2005 documentary Grizzly Man, charting the life and tragic death of grizzly bear protectionist Timothy Treadwell, the medium of documentary film becomes a place for the metaphysical meeting of two filmmakers otherwise separated by time and space. The film is structured as a kind of ‘argument’ between Herzog and Treadwell, reimagining the temporal divide of past and present through the technologies of documentary filmmaking. Herzog’s use of Treadwell’s archive of video footage highlights the complex status of the filmic trace in documentary film, and the possibilities of documentary traces to create distinct affective experiences of time. This paper focuses on how Treadwell is simultaneously present and absent in Grizzly Man, and how Herzog’s decision to structure the film as a ‘virtual argument’ with Treadwell also turns the film into a self-reflexive project in which Herzog reconsiders and re-presents his own image as a filmmaker. With reference to Herzog’s notion of the ‘ecstatic truth’ lying beneath the surface of what the documentary camera records, this article also considers the ethical implications of Herzog’s use of Treadwell’s archive material to both tell Treadwell’s story and work through his own authorial identity. KEYWORDS Documentary time, self-representation, digital film, trace, authorship, Werner Herzog. Introduction The opening scene of Grizzly Man (2005), Werner Herzog’s documentary about the life and tragic death of grizzly bear protectionist and amateur filmmaker Timothy Treadwell, shows Treadwell filming himself in front of bears grazing in a pasture, addressing the camera as though a wildlife documentary presenter.

  • On Werner Herzog's Documentary Grizzly
    Fast Capitalism ISSN 1930-014X Volume 4 • Issue 1 • 2008 doi:10.32855/fcapital.200801.014 On Werner Herzog’s Documentary Grizzly Man: Psychoanalysis, Nature, and Meaning John W. White Introduction Few documentaries in recent years have received as much acclaim as Werner Herzog’s film Grizzly Man (2005), a narrative exploration of the life and death of amateur grizzly bear expert and wildlife preservationist Timothy Treadwell, who supposedly lived unarmed among grizzlies for 13 summers before being eaten alive by one. It won the Alfred P. Sloan award at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and was awarded Best Feature Documentary at the Mountain Film in Telluride Festival. Ebert and Roper have given it “two thumbs way up” and J. Hoberman of The New York Times has called it “one of the most remarkable documentaries produced by any filmmaker in recent years.” However, like many of Herzog’s previous films, it has also generated a certain uneasiness and even minor controversy, as reflected in several online reviews. One critic, commenting on the “myth of objectivity” which surrounds the genre of documentary, prefaced his review by noting that it was personal movie making rather than “the typical PBS/Discovery Channel sort of informational objectivity.”[2] Another commented that he had mixed feelings and was left with the impression of opportunism rather than inspiration on Herzog’s part and felt “somewhat manipulated.”[3] Herzog’s filmmaking has always been controversial (Bachman 1977; Gitlin 1983; Cronin 2002; Prager 2007), but the subject matter of this particular feature may well stir more interest among members of the American public than his past films.

  • 'Antiphusis: Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man'
    Film-Philosophy, 11.3 November 2007 Antiphusis: Werner Herzog’s Grizzly Man Benjamin Noys University of Chichester The moon is dull. Mother Nature doesn’t call, doesn’t speak to you, although a glacier eventually farts. And don’t you listen to the Song of Life. Werner Herzog1 At the heart of the cinema of Werner Herzog lies the vision of discordant and chaotic nature – the vision of anti-nature. Throughout his work we can trace a constant fascination with the violence of nature and its indifference, or even hostility, to human desires and ambitions. For example, in his early film Even Dwarfs Started Small (1970) we have the recurrent image of a crippled chicken continually pecked by its companions.2 Here the violence of nature provides a sly prelude to the anarchic carnival violence of the dwarfs’ revolt against their oppressive institution. This fascination is particularly evident in his documentary filmmaking, although Herzog himself deconstructs this generic category. In the ‘Minnesota Declaration’ (1999)3 on ‘truth and fact in documentary cinema’ he radically distinguishes between ‘fact’, linked to norms and the limits of Cinéma Vérité, and ‘truth’ as ecstatic illumination, which ‘can be reached only through fabrication and imagination and stylization’ (in Cronin (ed.) 2002, 301). In particular he identifies nature as the site of this ecstatic illumination – in which we find ‘Lessons of Darkness’ – but only through the lack of any ‘voice’ of nature. While Herzog constantly films nature he films it as hell or as utterly alien. This is not a nature simply corrupted by humanity but a nature inherently ‘corrupt’ in 1 In Cronin (ed.) 2002, 301.

Around this vision Herzog fashioned a script about an aspiring rubber baron who yearns to bring opera to the Amazon, a dream requiring him to haul a steamship over a mountain from one river to another to gain access to the rubber. They form black lines on the cornices of buildings. The entire square is filled with their excited fluttering and twittering. Arriving from all different directions, the swarms of birds meet in the air above the Conquest of the Useless: Reflections from the Making of Fitzcarraldo, circling like tornados in dizzying spirals. Then, as if a whirlwind were sweeping through, they suddenly descend onto the square, darkening the sky. The young ladies put up umbrellas to shield themselves from droppings.

Boston College Electronic Thesis or Dissertation, 2008 Copyright is held by the author, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise noted. Encounters at the End of the World: A Collection of Essays on Werner Herzog “I am my films” Michael Mulhall May 1, 2008 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction 5. Chapter 1: Herzog’s Cultural Framework: Real and Perceived 21. Chapter 2: Herzog the Auteur 35. Chapter 3: Herzog/Kinski 48. Chapter 4: Blurring the Line 59. Works Cited Werner Herzog is one of the most well-known European art-house directors alive today (Cronin viii). Born in 1944 in war-torn Munich, Herzog has been an outsider from the start. He shot his first film, an experimental short, with a stolen camera. He has infuriated and confounded countless actors, producers, crew-members and studios in his lengthy career with his insistence on doing things his own way. Due to this maverick persona and the specific “adventurous madman” mystique he has cultivated over the past forty years, Herzog has attracted a large following worldwide. Herzog is perhaps best known for the lush but unforgiving jungles of Aguirre: Der Zorn Gottes (1972) and Fitzcarraldo (1982) and his contemplative musings on the structures of society in The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974) and Stroszek (1977). Though he has never been a huge commercial success in terms of theater receipts, he has had a relatively impressive recent run at the box office, including the much-heralded Grizzly Man (2005) and his long awaited return to feature filmmaking, Rescue Dawn (2006).

  • 'Hoods: Place Branding and the Reconstruction of Identity in Rick Sebak's Pittsburgh Documentaries
    HOUSES, HOT DOGS, AND 'HOODS: PLACE BRANDING AND THE RECONSTRUCTION OF IDENTITY IN RICK SEBAK'S PITTSBURGH DOCUMENTARIES Bryan James McGeary A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2012 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Ellen W. Gorsevski Graduate Faculty Representative Cynthia Baron Scott Magelssen © 2012 Bryan James McGeary All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor This project investigates the implementation of place branding theory via documentary filmmaking focused closely on the local characteristics of a place/region. Employing a close reading of WQED filmmaker Rick Sebak’s Pittsburgh History Series focused upon recurrent themes about aspects of Pittsburgh’s unique identity framed in relation to rhetorical approach and documentary techniques, while also noting aspects left out of Sebak’s films, this dissertation demonstrates the progressive potential of publicly funded documentary filmmaking to enable the residents of a given place to rebrand their identity and foster revitalization, independent of the expectations of city planners or corporate sponsors, and without sacrificing the diversity of experiences that give that place its unique character. As a whole, Sebak’s body of work constructs a particular narrative of Western Pennsylvania’s identity that revamps some of the preexisting notions about that identity. As a project of self-definition and self-understanding, the Pittsburgh History Series provides the local populace with some agency in recreating its image, rather than being branded from the outside. The success of this place branding approach to documentary filmmaking for Sebak and Western Pennsylvania suggests that other cities and regions could use it as a model to take greater control of their identities and cultivate renewal.

    1 Herzog and Auteurism Performing Authenticity Brigitte Peucker Michel Ichat ’ s Victoire sur l ’ Annapurna (1953) is incomplete, André Bazin tells the reader of “Cinema and Exploration,” because an avalanche “snatched the camera out of the hands of [Maurice] Herzog” (1967: 162). Bazin ’ s description conjures up a film camera immersed in snow, its lens obscured. No act of photographic registration can take place here: there is no distance between the hapless camera and its object. Struggling to delineate cinematic realism, Bazin evokes a limit case in bringing the real into the film frame, one in which the camera seized by an avalanche figures the collapse of world with filmic apparatus. Its existential weight intensified by its unrepresentability, Maurice Herzog ’ s peak experience is sublime. It ’ s the explorer ’ s brush with death that evokes Bazin ’ s central metaphor for the indexical image: the Veil of Veronica “pressed to the face of human suffering” (1967: 163). I have long suspected that Bazin ’ s account is what inspired Werner Stipetić to change his name to Werner Herzog, perhaps also to assume his particular aesthetic stance, since Bazin ’ s story contains all the lineaments of the portrait Herzog draws of himself as auteur. It ’ s the portrait of someone for whom the conquering of a mountain is co-extensive with filming it, for whom filmmaking demands a physical investment, and landscapes produce essential images because death lurks in the natural world. Most centrally, it ’ s the portrait of a filmmaker for whom authenticity is at stake. But what is the nature of this “authenticity”? It doesn ’ t reside in Bazinian realism in a strict sense, although it ’ s connected to its more metaphorical, expanded expression.
