  • The Unknown Known by Errol Morris: Quebec Premiere at Docville Thursday, April 24, 8 P.M., Cinéma Excentris
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION The Unknown Known by Errol Morris: Quebec premiere at Docville Thursday, April 24, 8 p.m., Cinéma Excentris Montreal, Thursday, April 10, 2014 – The Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM) is proud to present the Quebec premiere of The Unknown Known by Errol Morris, the fourth monthly Docville screening of 2014. Morris is the internationally acclaimed director of such films as The Fog of War and The Thin Blue Line. In 2003, Errol Morris won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature for The Fog of War, in which former U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara reflected on his career. A decade later, the filmmaker interviewed Donald Rumsfeld, who held the same position under George W. Bush. Armed with thousands of memos written by Rumsfeld during his long White House career (which began during the Nixon/Ford administration), Morris questions the controversial political figure on thorny topics like the invasion of Iraq under false pretences and the use of torture at Abu Ghraib. Staring down the camera without ever losing his aloof smile, Rumsfeld tackles every question with rhetorical poise as hypnotic as the film’s music, by Danny Elfman. Shown at the Venice, Telluride and Toronto festivals, The Unknown Known is a gripping verbal duel that leaves the historical truth more elusive than ever. THE UNKNOWN KNOWN Directed by Errol Morris. United States. 2013. 103 min. In English. Thursday, April 24, 8 p.m., Cinéma Excentris The film is distributed by Les Films Séville, an Entertainment One company. Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TcZ2‐sEb3o Online ticket purchase: https://excentris.ticketacces.net/fr/organisation/representations/index.cfm?EvenementID=511 Since 2012, the RIDM’s Docville series, presented on the last Thursday of every month, has given audiences the chance to see Montreal premieres of excellent documentaries that have enjoyed recent success at the world’s most prestigious festivals.

  • Doc Nyc Announces Final Titles Including
    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.

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.

The Buddhist understanding that what we experience is projection, is cinema in the most profound sense. In the sixth century BC, Prince Siddhartha, the future Buddha, was challenged by personal and political upheaval, and he heroically strove to find a meaningful way of living. Waking up and paying attention, he discovered a path of spiritual transformation. The seeds of this breakthrough have continued to flower through 2,500 years. A new wave of contemporary cinema is emerging to embrace all the strands of Buddhism—directly, obliquely, reverently, critically, and comedically too.

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.

McNamara’s death on 6 July 2009, at age 93, dozens of obituaries appeared, most of them telling the same basic story. McNamara was portrayed as an American variant of Robert Louis Stevenson’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, a bright and successful man but also a bad and destructive man whose pursuit of power and colossal arrogance led America and the world into the quagmire of the Vietnam War. First, Dr. Jekyll. A quick perusal of McNamara’s life seems initially to prove that the so-called “Horatio Alger Myth” is sometimes reality: rags to riches, obscurity to fame, blue collar to the corridors of power.

  • 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.
