oh yeah living in the digital world. the last census of what i used to need to keep a day about of the books for the over correction home the 4th time flew down the hall to the most recent at the columbia river that missed the boat on the valets at the last and dragons it was one of those as you called it the hard truth. to the real books on. the field of science bent things to you because they serve the truth better than the facts just in fact.

superciliously. data have zogby is a film legend the german director has made over 70 films ranging from art house to big hollywood productions he's traveled to the ends of the earth and peered into the depths of the human soul. he mentions that movie the most. he's created iconic characters to images in feature films and documentaries. always searching for a deeper truth his perspective is investigative and radically subjective van i have song the adventurer.

we met up with this great cinematic storyteller in munich where his story began. 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. the. 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. if i was.

so. 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 dwarves raising a riot at a correctional facility caused controversy upon its release in 1970. showing the point of view of outsiders and people on society it's fringes became hats all the trademark. in 197900 least nosferatu his almost f.w. more now silent film classic much more than a remake it was his 1st big international production and i pursued it could be duty . it's good gif you personally. please

let me do it. oh forget it it's hardly worth mentioning just a little cut. even you know as i feel you've lived in los angeles in the heart of the dream factory for many years. you've said you don't really feel part of the german film scene but in the us you enjoy a cult status as the bavarian in hollywood hollywood who were thoughtless. since it in because cult status is a term you should only touch with pincers but it gets really wild when i show up in brazil for example or in russia poland ireland or algeria all hell breaks loose when i show up there with films you say i'm part of the city with a dream factory but no i'm not part of it and i don't really belong to german film either. i actually belong to something more regional to the variant films from the

baroque in the world weary so that's why i sometimes say that apart from me. the 2nd would have been the only person able to make pitts car although it's going to do more who couldn't. fitzcarraldo is the story of an eccentric adventurer aiming to build an opera house in the amazon rain forest. fitzcarraldo was a visionary with a mission. but the thought that judging what was done to god. and someone who was prepared to defy gravity to realize his life's dream pushing boundaries is a constant theme and hertz all this work. is

indeed if you've been an extreme environments extreme situations what drives you to this day to seek out these extremes. makes the don't actually see context tree rather i consider what i do to be normal people are always saying shooting in the amazon rain forest is so extreme. but look it's just a forest sticky. this is more inviting it. katsav return to the jungle again for the vietnam war drama rescued on. that was a big american production but headstrong is also a nonconformist in hollywood for. a period with the will of a. minute. and a passion for on the hinge characters. not just. whether. you've called bad lieutenant of a very in film. it's

a wild and baroque. wilder than the wildest drinkers in october fest it really goes to extremes and. back to the big. surely guess what full soul still dancing. you never went to film school thank goodness see how you don't think much of them schools why. the dissidents. 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 they're learning film theory or other such nonsense so. they can learn

everything they need to know in a week. and everything else is technical. i mean after the technicians. here you can learn about filmmaking from veron or hertz 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 schools. 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 and not get caught. in let's.

switch to doing more workshops. are just as something in the amazon rain forest in peru. and in the 1st minute of the 1st meeting i said the topic of your show. the framework is delirium in the jungle. see what you can come up with and deliver the results in 9 days' time and some great films came out of it. again or the wrath of god was also shot in the south american jungle if the tale of a 16th century spanish conquistador searching for. this feverish drama tackles imperialism greed and meadow mania shot in documentary style it follows a good day on its historical suicide mission. thanks. in the end klaus kinski goes mad in a scene that broke film history that. ott

. well this was. a good day and later 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're going to talk about going to fresno and it's not going to get me i think it was and. it was the 1st that's where your meat was done and mom how did your getting tackled by such a document but then because of that you know so we're going to go for more with this mother you know. i don't know oh and ok so i'll try to run for a bit and i want to join the sports committee n.p.r. on the i'm proceeding can scale model for me since i can so i'm going to think that these in the 2nd going got this feeling. to green the last didn't invest in your star they're still actors as extreme as class kinski was. infin didn'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 with 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 bono as his depth than charisma. or his ability to convey isolation then paresi off to write this blog that was likely due to his real life as a musician she took me 23 years from his childhood onwards he kept getting put

away in correctional institutions and later in jail and in other places where he didn't belong then just. being in this state would be to little sadly a big fish he did lose a little. bit i didn't think. just listening to stuff after the feast. the listener see not. only. there are others who have similar biographies but who don't have the depth and presence onscreen employ no as did. pales in comparison. as does nicholas cage nicolas cage and tom cruise to talk. then i had thought worked with tom cruise on the action

thriller jack reacher but this time headstock stood in front of the camera playing an evil gang leader. spent my 1st winter wearing a coat holding what it. should. be for the frostbite turned green. the housing to how did you manage to be that evil. force it was ever atlas to totally effortless work. so i didn't have to do a screen test and i knew that i could do it and he would come and thus i earn good money for being terrifying on screen if you want to see him. and so many other stick not. then i have sought has his own unique perspective on the world and people his documentaries also focus on eccentric and

obsessive types. like fanatical animal rights activist timothy treadwell. i'm here with one of my favorite pairs express the chocolate chocolate he's been with me for the grizzly man spent his summers in alaska and lost all sense of distance between himself and the bears examples out there. are. now little in the end he was himself killed by a bear. my mind. how many jurors after treadwell's death in 2003 hertz og followed his trail right to the bitter end . he skipped and. taught for 2 months he trained for and so there is an audio recording of the death of timothy treadwell and his girlfriend. you both of them are eaten by a bear eaten alive piece by piece a law you would say and the distributors and producers absolutely want to destroy

cording 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 he come to see me and film can turn into. 2 must never listen to this i know her and her parents have are going to. think you know you should not keep it you should destroy it you know. it's anything she can see since ethical boundary individually toward because the dignity and the privacy surrounding an individual's death must not be violated period period

perfect. yet hair didn't shy away from interviewing condemned prisoners awaiting execution for as many series on death row. as a chairman 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 move forward i've watched several episodes of your series on death row what boundaries were you confronted with there. when c. when you talk with and film people on death row with people who know that they're going to be executed in 8 days and that there's no escaping that then of course there are certain boundaries their. respect respect dignity. due to

respect the condemned person's 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. but behind the camera i wore a formal suit and tie which i almost never do with it was a sign i respect you respect. they were always very open with you. from 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 mental heart and 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 much i also recognize. me but i don't worry about it for me they're all films. for 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 and if you and the facts can be misleading the truth is created or certain layers deeper layers are created through stylization through invention through imagination. the 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 facts. way.

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. to dream of flying a floating above the earth here to hertz og dared to experiment. 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 my gave him headphones and said listen. this is how we'll do it and he understood immediately.

else reisa goes music evokes the beauty of nature and its vulnerability. to the scene i'm the type really old 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. and it was overwhelming. and the music is equally overwhelming. who. is this one sorry these who 1st raised who are 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. enhance ogg's films music itself is often a performer such as in the show vacate where else dreiser goes music brings the prehistoric paintings to life. in 2019 the vendor had sought foundation awarded a prize or i said 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 use an extraordinary visionary. 2

taste in the log event of he's able to transform an entire world with music and to transform a world of images and suddenly you 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 songs 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 1907. 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 skilled and 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 so i told the singers and the others that we had to forget that i were controlling i said that we had a task and that there would only be an opera when the whole world transformed into music and you can see built in music from it. so it's unfair 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 in this and. this is bavaria still your home even though you haven't lived here for 20 years you're leaving soon many of my cultural roots are here my 1st language was very and i miss it actually and when i'm travelling around the world i miss the fact that i never hear bavarian dialect being spoken. they shall understand it isn't that of it. it's a taco missed consensus and. just coated satan stetson

the day before yesterday i was still shooting in norway on a new film and in less than a week i'll be in mexico to continue it if you like that somebody is and so i should get this prize 10 years after i stopped making films that have to be rolled under the stage in a wheelchair. he ordered to audit that ahead thank you it's been a pleasure to go. on. good.
