00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Earlier this week, the buzz and cinophile circle centered squarely

2
00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>on me, as the Criterion Collection launched a major Herzog

3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:12.199
<v Speaker 1>retrospective titled Blackout Noir, digging deep into all corners of

4
00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:15.279
<v Speaker 1>my career and sparking a fresh wave of discovery in

5
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:17.719
<v Speaker 1>the streaming era. According to a round up by the

6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:21.359
<v Speaker 1>Film Stage, that same energy swept into home theaters with

7
00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:25.079
<v Speaker 1>reviews heralding the new four K ultra HD release of

8
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:28.839
<v Speaker 1>my Nosferatu the Vampire, which I for Film called a

9
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.079
<v Speaker 1>visual feast that brings out the best in my beloved

10
00:00:32.159 --> 00:00:36.719
<v Speaker 1>naturalistic style. And if that wasn't enough archival excitement, Non

11
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:40.399
<v Speaker 1>Fix and Awards Watch prominently featured the four K restoration

12
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.640
<v Speaker 1>of Burden of Dreams, just released on Blu Ray this week,

13
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:47.359
<v Speaker 1>inviting audiences to relive the madness of dragging a ship

14
00:00:47.399 --> 00:00:53.439
<v Speaker 1>over a Peruvian mountain, my own notorious real life Fitzciraldo epic. Meanwhile,

15
00:00:53.679 --> 00:00:57.240
<v Speaker 1>the sfm Oma announced a forthcoming exhibition inspired by my

16
00:00:57.399 --> 00:01:01.520
<v Speaker 1>concept of ecstatic truth, generating speculation that I might appear

17
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:04.280
<v Speaker 1>in person at the opening next February, though this is

18
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:08.840
<v Speaker 1>yet to be confirmed by organizers. The conversation around streaming

19
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.400
<v Speaker 1>rights for unique films also made waves, as Screen Daily

20
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>reported on nouy Vasjionen's new European platform launching with the

21
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:20.480
<v Speaker 1>significant Librareal titles, hinting at more accessible distribution for my

22
00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:23.920
<v Speaker 1>lesser seen documentaries. In Germany, I was on the international

23
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:27.879
<v Speaker 1>festival circuit again. The Azorian Film Festival just confirmed I

24
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:30.599
<v Speaker 1>am serving both as a juror and giving a master

25
00:01:30.680 --> 00:01:34.079
<v Speaker 1>class later this month on the heels of my documentary

26
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Ghost Elephants, receiving continued press from The Hollywood Reporter after

27
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:43.599
<v Speaker 1>its Venice Festival debut and acquisition by National Geographic there,

28
00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:46.959
<v Speaker 1>I was honored with the Golden Lion for career achievement,

29
00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>reflecting my lasting impact in documentary cinema. No week would

30
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:54.840
<v Speaker 1>be complete without weighing in on the zeitgeist, and recent

31
00:01:54.879 --> 00:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>headlines from Joe Blow showcased my now viral critique of

32
00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>AI generated cinema. On Conan O'Brien's podcast, I described these

33
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.840
<v Speaker 1>films as souless, a pronouncement that ricocheted across movie Twitter

34
00:02:07.040 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 1>and spark debates on the future of the moving image,

35
00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>with my signature Bavarian candor providing late night food for thought. Finally,

36
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:18.479
<v Speaker 1>my name trended as screenings of my classic works, most

37
00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>notably Rescue Dawn in Fom Penn and Nosferatu on university campuses,

38
00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>introduced new audiences to my blend of existential adventure and

39
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>poetic realism, proving once more that in twenty twenty five,

40
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:35.520
<v Speaker 1>the world remains as enthralled as ever with both my

41
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:40.680
<v Speaker 1>films and my forthright pronouncements. No major announcements regarding new

42
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.439
<v Speaker 1>features or TV projects emerged, but the air is heavy

43
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:49.159
<v Speaker 1>with anticipation, multiple critics describing this moment as a sustained

44
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:53.159
<v Speaker 1>herzog renaissance. And that is it for today. Make sure
