00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.319
<v Speaker 1>Werner. Herzog is making major headlines this week with several

2
00:00:03.319 --> 00:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>developments solidifying his legendary status in world cinema. Variety reports

3
00:00:08.519 --> 00:00:11.080
<v Speaker 1>that Herzog is set to make his animation debut with

4
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.439
<v Speaker 1>The Twilight World, a film adaptation of his best selling

5
00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.120
<v Speaker 1>novel about hero Onoda, a Japanese officer who refused to

6
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:21.839
<v Speaker 1>surrender after World War II. The project, co written by

7
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Herzog with Michael Arius and Luca Vitale, is being produced

8
00:00:25.559 --> 00:00:29.120
<v Speaker 1>by Sun Creature's studio Acclaim for the Oscar nominated Flee

9
00:00:29.600 --> 00:00:35.039
<v Speaker 1>alongside Syop. Remarkably, Herzog himself will marrate this animated feature,

10
00:00:35.479 --> 00:00:38.520
<v Speaker 1>blending history and surrealism in a way only he can.

11
00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Turning to the international festival circuit, Numero confirms that the

12
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>eighty second Venice Film Festival has named Herzog a recipient

13
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 1>of this year's Golden Lion for lifetime Achievement. The honour

14
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:53.200
<v Speaker 1>will be handed over by Alexander Paine himself, making waves

15
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:57.359
<v Speaker 1>as the controversial jury president, cementing Herzog's legacy among the

16
00:00:57.359 --> 00:01:02.399
<v Speaker 1>greats of cinema. According to German Films, this award recognizes

17
00:01:02.439 --> 00:01:07.519
<v Speaker 1>Herzog's decades spanning contributions and unmistakable voice in global filmmaking.

18
00:01:08.040 --> 00:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Adding to his busy summer, Herzog is also marking a

19
00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:14.799
<v Speaker 1>world premiere at Venice with Ghost Elephants, which was announced

20
00:01:14.920 --> 00:01:20.079
<v Speaker 1>enthusiastically on Instagram by producer Raphael Leva. The film's anticipation

21
00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 1>speaks to Herzog's ability to capture international attention with every

22
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>new release. Herzog is actively engaged with his audience as well.

23
00:01:28.879 --> 00:01:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Proselink highlights that on July thirtieth, he will deliver the

24
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:36.480
<v Speaker 1>Bloom Call keynote at Air Aspen, discussing themes from his

25
00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:41.519
<v Speaker 1>upcoming book, The Future of Truth. Meanwhile, Herzog's unconventional approach

26
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>to education continues. CBS recently reported his encouragement to young

27
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>filmmakers to seek inspiration in unlikely environments, including, as he

28
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>bloodly put it, sex clubs, and lunatic asylums during his

29
00:01:56.120 --> 00:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>eleven day workshop, described as a film school for rogues. Notably,

30
00:02:00.879 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>he has also announced his fifth Rogue Film School for

31
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:07.719
<v Speaker 1>August twenty second to twenty fifth in Los Angeles, as

32
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:12.240
<v Speaker 1>reported by IMDb News. Social media buzz is intense. An

33
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:16.080
<v Speaker 1>Instagram post from July twenty first noted Herzog sharing a

34
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>stage in Aspen alongside renowned artist Matthew Barney, highlighting his

35
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:26.120
<v Speaker 1>ongoing presence in interdisciplinary conversations, while recent protest photography reels

36
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:29.639
