Encounters at the End of the World
Inspired by Werner Herzog, the director responsible for "Grizzly Man", "Fitzcarraldo", "Nosferatu", "Rescue Dawn", sit back and indulge in a weekend of a sheer cinematic heaven as we bring you three of Herzog’s great films to enjoy.
‘Cave of Forgotten Dreams’ gets us off to a perfect start on the Friday night, while on Saturday, it’s a double bill film feast with ‘The Blue Wild Yonder’ and ‘Encounters At The End Of The World’. French filmmaker François Truffaut once called Herzog "the most important film director alive", here’s a chance to really absorb the wonder of Werner Herzog. (see all three screenings for €12)
Also, with an environmental flavour to the weekend, we have something for all the family to enjoy. Drop in with the kids between 12pm & 2pm on Saturday afternoon for a free ECO
UNESCO workshop, learn how to recycle old junk into new items, then pop in to see the beautiful National Geographic family film ‘Arctic Tale’.
Werner Herzog confirms his standing as poet laureate of men in extreme situations with ENCOUNTERS AT THE END OF THE WORLD. In this visually stunning exploration, Herzog travels to the Antarctic community of McMurdo Station, the hub of the US Antarctic Program and home to eleven hundred people during the austral spring and summer (Oct-Feb).
Over the course of his journey, Herzog examines human nature and Mother nature, juxtaposing breathtaking locations with the profound, surreal, and sometimes absurd experiences of the marine biologists, physicists, plumbers, and truck drivers who choose to form a society as far away from society as one can get.
Whether offering a detailed study of the unique survival training regimen that newcomers to McMurdo are obligated to endure or pondering the majestic beauty of a landscape where the discovery of three new species in a single day is something worth truly celebrating, Herzog boldly offers viewers the opportunity to visit one of the most inaccessible and awe-inspiring landscapes on the planet.
