Both maniacal in their own ways, Herzog and Kinski collaborated on five extraordinary films, and probably tried to kill each other at least as many times. Despite their early, violent- prone troubles—fascinatingly explored in Herzog’s documentary tribute MY BEST FIEND—and against all better sense, the filmmaker continued to cast the highly volatile actor in his movies, finding in Kinski’s explosive presence (to say nothing of his inimitable face) the embodiment of expression.

In truth, mid-1950s, it was with reverence that critics and he was the master of manipulation—expertly employing every cinematic device filmmakers of that country looked to a prolific British available to him (dialogue, performance, music, location, cinematography) in filmmaker making movies in America. Decades into order to draw exactly what he wanted out of his audiences, precisely when he his career by then, Alfred Hitchcock had produced a wanted it.

    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 -

    Home Category / Arts and Culture / Werner Herzog Retrospective Werner Herzog Retrospective Slave trade abolition in Cobra Verde Share it! 28 SHARES Published May 15, 2017, 12:05 AM By Rica Arevalo Film director Werner Herzog is a leading gure of the New German Cinema. Born on Sept. 5, 1942, his lms are unconventional and important with the art house audience. The Goethe-Institut Philippinen in partnership with the Film Development Council of the Philippines is showing Herzog’s acclaimed lms until June 4. On May 20, 6 p.m., Cobra Verde (1987) starring Klaus Kinski based on the novel, The Viceroy of Ouidah by Bruce Chatwin, is going to be screened at the FDCP Cinematheque Manila. Kinski plays Francisco Manoel da Silva, nicknamed Cobra Verde, a bandit who walks barefoot and does not own a horse for travelling. People are afraid and run away from him. He tells a bar owner that he never had a friend in all his life. At that time, slave trade was ourishing in Brazil. Black men were sold in exchange for ammunition, liquor, and silk. Cobra Verde meets Don Octavio, a sugar plantation owner who asks him to manage his elds. He accepted the job oer but impregnated Don Octavio’s daughters. To banish him, he was sent to Africa to buy slaves knowing that he will not survive. Cobra Verde took hold of a garrison, Fort Elmina, improved the place and lived there managing the slaves with Taparica (King Ampaw). The slave trade across the Atlantic and Brazil was their route.

  • 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).

    GO Stay /// Sleep Like a (Rolling) Stone BY NICHOLAS GILL PERU PERU La Casa Fitzcarraldo 51/(65) 601-138 lacasafitzcarraldo.com From $55 per night. Includes breakfast and airport pickup. Iquitos is best reached by plane from Lima. The flight lasts one to two hours. Gimme Shelter like other rooms at la casa fitzcarraldo, the Blue Room has a ceiling fan and a mahogany parquet floor. A tapestry of psychedelic geometric shapes, typical of the indig- enous Shipibo people, is draped above the bed. At night, the sound of crickets and frogs seeps in through the screen, drowning out the traffic on the streets of Iquitos, the largest city in the Peruvian Amazon region. But staying in this particular room offers a certain, well, satisfaction. Yes, Mick Jagger slept here. It was in 1981, when Jagger was cast in the filmFitzcarraldo , the epic tale of a 19th-century rubber prospector who attempts to transport a steamship over a mountain. The movie-making process was an epic unto itself, as director Werner Herzog insisted that the cast and crew actually carry a ship over a mountain in the jun- gle. (His financiers would have preferred he use miniatures on a sound stage.) During the shooting, a large house owned by the film’s executive producer, Walter Saxer, served as a production base and crash pad. Herzog liked to stay in the back bungalow, actor Klaus Kinski took the Green Room upstairs, and Jagger claimed the Blue Room.

  • 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.
