00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.919
<v Speaker 1>Werner. Herzog has commanded headlines and industry buzz over the

2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.439
<v Speaker 1>past several days with a flurry of significant developments, continuing

3
00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.960
<v Speaker 1>to defy retirement rumors and solidifying his legacy as a

4
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>cinematic trailblazer. Variety reports that Herzog will be honoured with

5
00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>the twenty twenty five Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at

6
00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the upcoming Venice Film Festival, a recognition he describes as

7
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>feeling like a medal for his work and a fitting

8
00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:30.760
<v Speaker 1>tribute for the director behind classics like Agire, The Wrath

9
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>of God and Fitzgarlo. However, as Herzog made clear in

10
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:39.359
<v Speaker 1>his acceptance statement, he has not gone into retirement and

11
00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 1>remains fiercely prolific. He just wrapped a new Nature documentary,

12
00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:46.719
<v Speaker 1>Ghost Elephants in Angola, which has set to screen out

13
00:00:46.719 --> 00:00:50.479
<v Speaker 1>of competition in Venice, and is actively shooting his next feature,

14
00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>Bucking Fastard in Ireland. Herzog is also making his animation

15
00:00:54.960 --> 00:00:58.320
<v Speaker 1>debut with The Twilight World, based on his novel about

16
00:00:58.399 --> 00:01:02.039
<v Speaker 1>hero Onoda, the Jazz Spanese soldier who continued fighting World

17
00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:05.719
<v Speaker 1>War II for decades after its conclusion. Sun Creature's studio

18
00:01:05.959 --> 00:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>the team behind Oscar nominated Flea will handle production, while

19
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 1>Herzog himself will narrate and co write the project. In

20
00:01:13.200 --> 00:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>addition to his directorial endeavors, Herzog is lending his unmistakable

21
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 1>voice to Bong June Ho's upcoming animated film by voicing

22
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>a creature, underscoring his ongoing influence in international cinema. On

23
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.640
<v Speaker 1>the advice front, Herzog made news in an interview with

24
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:32.879
<v Speaker 1>CBS and IndieWire by encouraging aspiring filmmakers to take real

25
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>jobs like working in sex clubs or asylums, rather than

26
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>mundane office roles, to fund their first projects and gain

27
00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:45.280
<v Speaker 1>genuine life experience. This provocative guidance aligns with the gorilla

28
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:49.159
<v Speaker 1>ethos of his self described film school for rogues. Herzog

29
00:01:49.159 --> 00:01:51.920
<v Speaker 1>will be making a public appearance at the Aspen Institute

30
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>on July thirtieth, as highlighted by Proselink, part of a

31
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:59.959
<v Speaker 1>collaborative event with Hans Zuurik Obrist, further cementing his status

32
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.519
<v Speaker 1>as a public intellectual in arts and idea circles. On

33
00:02:03.560 --> 00:02:07.840
<v Speaker 1>social media, Herzog's profile has resurfaced with multiple tributes and

34
00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:12.080
<v Speaker 1>references on Instagram accounts like Ahmed's Voice and the Library

35
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.319
<v Speaker 1>of Lazy Thinking have recently posted about Herzog's enduring quirkiness

36
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.879
<v Speaker 1>and philosophical takes, indicating continued grass roots admiration in some

37
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:26.319
<v Speaker 1>With new films, high honors, audacious career moves, and a

38
00:02:26.319 --> 00:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>steady stream of public and social media engagement, Werner Herzog

39
00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>remains an indomitable force on the world stage, his recent

40
00:02:33.879 --> 00:02:38.479
<v Speaker 1>activity signaling vital new chapters rather than any slowing of momentum.

41
00:02:38.719 --> 00:02:41.120
