Cave of Forgotten Dreams
During a live interview with director Werner Herzog after a screening of his 3D documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams, journalist Jason Solomons described the eclectic filmmaker’s latest creation rather poetically as “an examination of all that makes us human”.

When Herzog Rescued Phoenix
Given that both My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? and I’m Still Here are currently in the wild, Sascha Ciezata’s short animation When Herzog Rescued Phoenix is a very timely piece, which provides an animated illustration of an interview with Werner Herzog matter-of-factly describing his rescue of Joaquin Phoenix from a rolled car.
