00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Werner. Herzog has surfaced in several public arenas over the

2
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:06.440
<v Speaker 1>past few days, making clear yet again that age is

3
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>no barrier to artistic restlessness or intellectual curiosity. Most notably,

4
00:00:12.039 --> 00:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Herzog appeared in a much anticipated live virtual event hosted

5
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>by Live Talks Los Angeles on November eleven, where he

6
00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>traded observations with Larry Wilmore and discussed his latest book,

7
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>The Future of Truth. This compact exploration tackles art, philosophy,

8
00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>and the elusive nature of truth in a post truthed

9
00:00:31.839 --> 00:00:35.359
<v Speaker 1>era where deep fake videos and relentless fake news have

10
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 1>unsettled the very idea of reality. Hertzog seemed an excellent form,

11
00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:45.880
<v Speaker 1>mixing memoir, politics, poetry, and pointed opinions as he urged

12
00:00:45.880 --> 00:00:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the public to maintain imaginative, tireless commitment to truth seeking.

13
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.799
<v Speaker 1>According to the event's organizers, Herzog considers truth less as

14
00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a fixed beacon and more as an endless, uncertain journey,

15
00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:03.359
<v Speaker 1>remarking it is this journey into the unknown, into a

16
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.000
<v Speaker 1>vast twilett forest that gives our lives meaning and purpose.

17
00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Social media lit up as Herzog's Live Talks LA appearance

18
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 1>rippled through Instagram with snapshots taken at the Robert Frost

19
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Auditorium in Culver City on November twelfth, earning dozens of

20
00:01:19.480 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>likes and comments. Instagram's Art and Film circle is a buzz,

21
00:01:24.079 --> 00:01:28.719
<v Speaker 1>with visual artist Mihai Greku invoking Herzog's concept of ecstatic

22
00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>truth in a recent post about his video exhibition Catastrophologic,

23
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:37.799
<v Speaker 1>crediting Herzog's philosophy as central to new explorations in contemporary

24
00:01:37.879 --> 00:01:42.439
<v Speaker 1>video art. Herzog's fingerprints are all over current streaming trends too.

25
00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Criteria Collection's Instagram account heralded the return of his Nosferat

26
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:51.159
<v Speaker 1>to the Vampire nineteen seventy nine to the Criterion Channel

27
00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:56.760
<v Speaker 1>just days ago, attracting thousands of interactions. Meanwhile, writers at

28
00:01:56.760 --> 00:02:01.359
<v Speaker 1>The Liberal Patriot and Josh Duggan's Substack both highlighted Herzog's

29
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:06.079
<v Speaker 1>fits Caraldo as essential viewing, referencing its haunted production and

30
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:11.039
<v Speaker 1>reputation for madness, which continues to entrance and disturb audiences.

31
00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:19.840
<v Speaker 1>On the business front, Herzog's influence remains tangible. A forthcoming

32
00:02:19.879 --> 00:02:22.479
<v Speaker 1>screening in public talk of Agiae The Wrath of God

33
00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 1>at the Norton Simon Museum has been announced for January,

34
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and the continued theatrical release of titles inspired by his

35
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.879
<v Speaker 1>work is gathering attention, such as Searchlight Pictures Rental Family,

36
00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:38.599
<v Speaker 1>a drama thematically linked to Herzog's twenty nineteen documentary Family

37
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:43.919
<v Speaker 1>Romance LC. Finally, rumors swirl on fan forms and some

38
00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.360
<v Speaker 1>unverified blogs that Herzog may be in the late stages

39
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>of producing another major documentary, potentially tied to African conservation themes,

40
00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.240
<v Speaker 1>a nod to his long time love of outsiders and

41
00:02:55.319 --> 00:02:59.319
<v Speaker 1>lost worlds. These reports are unconfirmed as of now, but

42
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.639
<v Speaker 1>have provoked lively speculation about future premieres. Through public appearances,

43
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:09.039
<v Speaker 1>festival spotlights, and book events. Herzog once again proves to

44
00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.719
<v Speaker 1>be a singular force whose strange and haunting vision refuses

45
00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>to fade even as he charges deeper into the forest

46
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>of the unknown. And that is it for today. Make
