Speaker 1: Earlier this week, the buzz and cinophile circle centered squarely
Speaker 1: on me, as the Criterion Collection launched a major Herzog
Speaker 1: retrospective titled Blackout Noir, digging deep into all corners of
Speaker 1: my career and sparking a fresh wave of discovery in
Speaker 1: the streaming era. According to a round up by the
Speaker 1: Film Stage, that same energy swept into home theaters with
Speaker 1: reviews heralding the new four K ultra HD release of
Speaker 1: my Nosferatu the Vampire, which I for Film called a
Speaker 1: visual feast that brings out the best in my beloved
Speaker 1: naturalistic style. And if that wasn't enough archival excitement, Non
Speaker 1: Fix and Awards Watch prominently featured the four K restoration
Speaker 1: of Burden of Dreams, just released on Blu Ray this week,
Speaker 1: inviting audiences to relive the madness of dragging a ship
Speaker 1: over a Peruvian mountain, my own notorious real life Fitzciraldo epic. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: the sfm Oma announced a forthcoming exhibition inspired by my
Speaker 1: concept of ecstatic truth, generating speculation that I might appear
Speaker 1: in person at the opening next February, though this is
Speaker 1: yet to be confirmed by organizers. The conversation around streaming
Speaker 1: rights for unique films also made waves, as Screen Daily
Speaker 1: reported on nouy Vasjionen's new European platform launching with the
Speaker 1: significant Librareal titles, hinting at more accessible distribution for my
Speaker 1: lesser seen documentaries. In Germany, I was on the international
Speaker 1: festival circuit again. The Azorian Film Festival just confirmed I
Speaker 1: am serving both as a juror and giving a master
Speaker 1: class later this month on the heels of my documentary
Speaker 1: Ghost Elephants, receiving continued press from The Hollywood Reporter after
Speaker 1: its Venice Festival debut and acquisition by National Geographic there,
Speaker 1: I was honored with the Golden Lion for career achievement,
Speaker 1: reflecting my lasting impact in documentary cinema. No week would
Speaker 1: be complete without weighing in on the zeitgeist, and recent
Speaker 1: headlines from Joe Blow showcased my now viral critique of
Speaker 1: AI generated cinema. On Conan O'Brien's podcast, I described these
Speaker 1: films as souless, a pronouncement that ricocheted across movie Twitter
Speaker 1: and spark debates on the future of the moving image,
Speaker 1: with my signature Bavarian candor providing late night food for thought. Finally,
Speaker 1: my name trended as screenings of my classic works, most
Speaker 1: notably Rescue Dawn in Fom Penn and Nosferatu on university campuses,
Speaker 1: introduced new audiences to my blend of existential adventure and
Speaker 1: poetic realism, proving once more that in twenty twenty five,
Speaker 1: the world remains as enthralled as ever with both my
Speaker 1: films and my forthright pronouncements. No major announcements regarding new
Speaker 1: features or TV projects emerged, but the air is heavy
Speaker 1: with anticipation, multiple critics describing this moment as a sustained
Speaker 1: herzog renaissance. And that is it for today. Make sure
