when did it become clear to you that you had to and could make films. when i was around 14 or 15 years old when various things happened at the same time which made my fate apparent to me. among them was that i would make films. that i was also a kind of poet. and it was always clear to me that i would do this better than others. it was also clear that since i knew little about film and had seen almost nothing i would have to invent the cinema myself.

machine your. very 1st feature film was a declaration of war on the triviality of post-war german cinema. and this anarchic surreal and disturbing drama about towards raising a riot at a correctional facility caused controversy upon its release in 1970 s. . showing the point of view of outsiders and people on society its fringes became help songs trademark. in $197900.00 least nosferatu his amash to f.w. more now silent film classic much more than a remake it was his 1st big international production the night it suited could be dirty. but good gif you personally. please let me do it. oh forget it it's hardly worth mentioning just

to extremes stick won't you go back to the bridge. david. surely guess what for all his soul still dancing. see how you never went to film school thank goodness see how you don't think much of them schools why. i think they're completely misconceived. and basically poor film students are cooped up there for way too long. for 3 or 4 years. in 3 or 4 years they could shoot 3 features instead of sitting around their learning film theory or other such nonsense. they can learn everything they need to know in a week so you can see everything else is technical. could be left to the technicians. here you can learn about filmmaking from fair

haired song online. storyboard. instrumentals to cowards. but there's more. i found at the road film school. it was designed to be the exact opposite of everything you'd normally learn in film school. there are only 2 things i tell people they're really learn. first time out or pick a safety lock using a surgical instrument. and 2nd how to fake a filming permit to not kick. in let's. switch to doing more workshops. are just is something in the amazon rain forest in peru. and in the 1st minute of the 1st meeting i said the topic of

fitzcarraldo r.t. made headlines during shooting largely due to the unpredictable lead actor klaus kinski he made 5 films with parents on who works through their productive love hate relationship in a documentary. they don't want you know probably going to fresno you don't know anything about it more than if. it was a rich person that's what your neighbors don't mom how do you do yours getting tackled by such a document and because of that you know. i know from its mother no. i was not oh and ok so i was trying for the benefit of join the sports committee n.p.r. and i'm proceeding can skim off from the cycle so i'm going to think that these in the 2nd line and got this willing. to clean the last of me and dust in the snow they're still actors as extreme as class kinski was. he didn't scream i don't consider him extreme. he was kinski and in a certain sense he was a singular figure but he wasn't the best actor i worked with. the deepest and best

one was bruno s. who played the title roles in costume house. i've worked at the world's best with christian bale. nicolas cage nicole nicole kidman. tom cruise it is then no one. not any one of them. ever came close to porno as is depp the charisma. or his ability to convey isolation and ferocity. to right this blog that was likely due to his real life fake musicianship practically 23 years from his childhood onwards he kept getting put away in correctional institutions and later in jail and then other places where he didn't belong. in the skittish scene i mean not.

being in the states but with the blood will suddenly have picked everything she did loose a little. bit of the side of it didn't i didn't think. just listening to stuff actually deceased. listening to the city not just the funny good. there are others who have similar biographies but who don't have the depth and presence on screen that porno i stated. pales in comparison. as does nicholas cage nicolas cage and tom cruise to. vienna had thought worked with tom cruise on the action thriller jack reacher but this time had saga stood in front of the camera playing an evil gang leader i. spent my 1st winter. coat

holding one. piece for the frostbite turned again green. the housing to how did you manage to be that evil. or was it was effortless totally effortless work. so i didn't have to do a screen test and i knew that i could do it with us i earned good money for being terrifying on screen. that he's. been so many other stick knocked. down i have saw has his own unique perspective on the world and people his documentaries also focus on eccentric obsessive types like fanatical animal rights activist timothy treadwell. i'm here with one of my favorite pairs expressed

a chocolate chocolate has been with me for the grizzly man spent his summers in alaska and lost all sense of distance between himself and the bears. right now though in the end he was himself killed by a bear. my mind. how many jurors after treadwell's death in 2003 hertzog followed his trail right to the bitter and . escaped and. taught from timothy traitor and so there's an audio recording of the death of timothy treadwell and his girlfriend and. you're both of them are eaten by a bear eaten alive peace pipe he's alive and well duty and the distributors and producers absolutely wanted this recording to be in the film and so i said ok i'll listen to it. and i listened to it and it was so incredibly horrifying that i said

only over my dead body will this make it into the film you come to see me in film can turn it off. you. 2 must never listen to this i never heard her pimp ever go into. the sink you know you should not keep it you should destroy it you know. it's anything she can see it's an ethical boundary individually toward because the dignity and the privacy surrounding an individual's death must not be violated period period perfect. yet haired zog didn't shy away from interviewing condemned prisoners awaiting

execution for as many series on death row. as a charm and coming from a different historical background and being a guest in the united states i respectfully disagree with the practice of capital punishment and help me m l 5 i've watched several episodes of your series on death row what boundaries were you confronted with there. when see. it's mention and told us when you talk with and film people on death row with who know that they're going to be executed in 8 days with their kids and if there's no escaping that then of course there are certain boundaries their friends respect respect dignity. due to respect the condemned person is human dignity.

same spar and this is one of them. in order to film a death row inmate you have to be invited by him in writing. i was behind the camera you only ever hear my voice and behind the camera i wore a formal suit in time which i almost never do it was a sign i respect you with. they were always very open with you. meant for me all right the very 1st moment. and that's a question of how you work as a director. you can only do that if you know the heart of men. if you can look deep into their souls then it works. looking at your films the boundaries between documentary and feature film are really fluid. do you still differentiate between them. oh sure there's a big difference in which i also recognize. who but i don't worry about it for me

they're all films there was a. fuck you once said facts do not constitute truth per se. in this age of the internet and fake news what's the truth beyond the facts that you seek. if you have the facts can be misleading the truth is created or certain layers deeper layers are created through stylization through invention through imagination. from . this supposedly realistic picture often seen in documentaries is a misconception. which is why i say i invent things too because they serve the truth better than the found. austin folk. back in south america again in the impenetrable tropical rain forest of guyana against the spectacular backdrop of chi to a falls

a mythical location for the indigenous population. this is where hats are made the white diamond a documentary about dreams and the limitations of technology. the dream of flying a floating above the earth here to help zogby dared to experiment. in that case we had the music 1st. so in the rain forest the camera man asked me how are you going to do it with the rhythm in the shooting center on my getting headphones and said listen. this is how we'll do it and he understood immediately. it's right there goes music evokes the beauty of nature and its vulnerability. of

the seen on the type of new york there were one and a half 1000000 swifts which came out of the sky in a huge swarm and flew in circular movements into their nests behind a huge waterfall. goodness the it was overwhelming. and the music is equally overwhelming. this one sided these who 1st raised the singers were sardinians who almost all have prehistoric voices. and they started singing with far too much energy and the meter was far too clear. and i stood up and made flying movements for them and they understood. and suddenly the movement became that of an eagle gliding from

sri up. in hats ogg's films music itself is often a performer such as in the show of a case where strikes against music brings the prehistoric paintings to life. in 2019 the vendor had sought foundation awarded a price or i say he was praised for creating spaces with his music that were larger than what could be seen on the screen. that is so i'm sick you do not miss your new music extraordinary visionary. 2 in the log he admitted he's able to transform an entire world with music and to transform a world of images and suddenly the combination of music and images gives rise to

something new and different that the audience can perceive and experience in a different way. than i have towards relationship with music is a story of its own. he has also staged many operas going back to wagner again and again his 1st time was knowing playing at the by a white festival in 1987. video of him clearly many of your colleagues vendors last frontier were also supposed to direct and buy rights but they shied away from doing it what's so difficult about staging wagner is that he can help operates according to different rules. from directors can't expect to use the same criteria and the same working methods as they do in the cinema that was always clear i told the singers and the others that

we had to forget that i work in film argo. i said that we had a task and that there would only be an opera when the whole world transformed into music and the guns event in music from it. so that some fear back to film you've been in some very extreme places in the mountains in the amazon underwater in the desert on the ice caps is there anything else that you're still seeking or that you'd like to explore more. i'd like to go to the space station or to the moon. or i'd like to make a short visit to mars if that ever becomes possible mogs in this and. this is
