Encounters at the End of the World

This darkly witty documentary sees Herzog heading to the frozen south to interview those who live and work there, on the assumption that they'll be quite weird.

Antarctica, that is. And who better to encounter there than the great Werner Herzog?

“Sure enough, their colourful personalities prove a headily entertaining foil for Herzog’s dry-as-a-bone commentary. Ever wanted to know if there are suicidal penguins; which mating sea creatures sound like synthesisers; or how to simulate a blizzard using just a bucket? It’s all here!” – Edinburgh Film Festival

Followed by a Panel Q&A.
