London-based Sideways Film has taken world sales on British director Carey Born’s “Cyborg: A Documentary” about a man who was born color blind and has an antenna embedded in his head to help contend with this condition.
Filmed in the U.K., Spain, Denmark, Australia and across the U.S. in New York, Los Angeles, San Jose and New Jersey, the doc about the world’s first officially recognized cyborg premiered last month at the Cph:dox festival in Copenhagen and was selected by the fest to screen online on its Para:dox platform.
“Cyborg” centers on “cyborg artist” Neil Harbisson who was born with a rare condition called achromatopsia, which means he sees only in black and white. In 2003 Harbisson had an illegal operation. A so-called “eyeborg” antenna was implanted in the back of his head enabling him to “hear colour” as waves that are translated into sound frequencies and transmitted to his auditory cortex.

Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Werner Herzog's Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin is exclusively showing in the United States starting February 7, 2021.When Werner Herzog met Bruce Chatwin, legend has it the two spent forty-eight hours telling stories to each other. “For every one I told him,” Herzog remembers, “he would tell me three. We would sleep for a couple of hours, then wake up and carry on.” The year was 1984, the place Melbourne. Hot on the heels of Fitzcarraldo (1982), Herzog had travelled to Australia to shoot Where the Green Ants Dream (1984), while Chatwin, by then already a literary icon, was working on his fourth book, The Songlines (1987). His first, In Patagonia (1977) had sent the Englishman on a journey to the ends of the world to uncover the mystery behind a piece of “brontosaurs skin.” It had changed travel writing forever, concocting...

From the heart-wrenching exploration of Timothy Treadwell in Grizzly Man, whose real-life adoration of the titular creatures would portend his own death, to exploring the forgotten paintings and rituals of the stone age in transcendent 3-D in Cave of Forgotten Dreams, Werner Herzog is a nomad himself in the documentary field. For his latest non-fiction, Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin, he’s turning the camera to his late friend. Music Box Films has now unveiled a new trailer for his new documentary, scheduled to be released in select cinemas April 8.
An official selection at Tribeca, Herzog tackles the personal subject of the life of his friend Bruce Chatwin, travel writer, explorer, novelist, and journalist. To honor his friend’s legacy, he embarks on the same journey Chatwin made–featuring Patagonia, the Black Mountains in Wales, and the outback of Australia– and it is of course narrated by the...

"It's in the landscape... landscape of his soul." Music Box Films has released the official trailer for Werner Herzog's latest documentary film, called Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin. This originally premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last year, and went on to play at the Telluride Film Festival, Sheffield Doc/Fest, and Vancouver Film Festival. When travel writer Bruce Chatwin was dying of AIDS, his friend Werner Herzog made a final visit. As a parting gift, Chatwin gave him his rucksack. Now thirty years later, Herzog sets out on his own journey, inspired by Chatwin's passion for the nomadic life. His deeply personal portrait of Chatwin, featuring archival discoveries, clips, and a mound of "brontosaurus skin," encompasses their shared interest in aboriginal / tribal cultures, ancient rituals, and the mysteries stitching together life on earth. I'm usually always interested in watching Herzog's documentaries, no matter what they are about.

Werner Herzog is a rare filmmaker. Even when you take away the actual content of his films, which also set him apart from many other auteurs, Herzog is also a unique filmmaker in the way that he freely goes from the realms of narrative fiction and documentary depending on the project. If you look at his filmography, the director has almost a 50/50 split between the number of narrative features and documentaries. And for his latest film, “Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin,” the filmmaker not only ventures back into documentary territory but actually turns the camera on himself.

Werner Herzog’s ‘Nomad’ Trailer: Auteur’s Latest Film Follows Life of ‘Kindred Spirit’ Bruce Chatwin
For his latest cinematic adventure, iconoclastic auteur Werner Herzog is tackling a subject close to his heart: his bond with travel writer Bruce Chatwin, who passed away in 1989 after privately fighting HIV for five years. The pair were already long-time friends at that point, but even decades after Chatwin’s death, Herzog’s affection and respect for the fellow artist remains deep. Chatwin is still considered one of the UK’s best loved authors, and his work, including seminal books like “The Songlines” and “In Patagonia,” has long been credited with helping to revive the once-staid genre of travel writing.
Per the film’s official synopsis: “Werner Herzog turns the camera on himself and his decades-long friendship with the late travel writer Bruce Chatwin, a kindred spirit whose quest for ecstatic truth carried him to all corners of the globe. Herzog’s deeply personal portrait of Chatwin, illustrated with archival discoveries,...

Colorado’s San Juan Mountains will soon be alive with the sights and sounds of movies.
The line-up for the 46th Telluride Film Festival has been announced.
The starry slate includes the world premiere of “Judy,” director Rupert Goold’s biopic about the final months of Judy Garland’s life with Renée Zellweger in the title role. “Maybe because Renée hasn’t done a huge number of things in the past few years, she’s saved up all of her tenderness, all of that vulnerability to bring to this role,” Telluride co-director Julie Huntsinger told Variety.
“Judy” is certainly not the only world premiere during this year’s festivities, which run from Friday, Aug. 30 to Monday, Sept. 2. James Mangold’s real-life car racing drama “Ford v Ferrari” starring Matt Damon and Christian Bale is on the bill. Edward Norton will premiere his directorial debut “Motherless Brooklyn,” with an ensemble including Gugu Mbatha-Raw,...

Throughout his career, Werner Herzog has shared a deep connection with his daring explorer subjects, be it with “Aguirre, the Wrath of God,” “Fitzcarraldo,” “Little Dieter Needs to Fly,” or “Grizzly Man.” That’s again true with “Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin,” the prolific filmmaker’s heartfelt documentary tribute to his celebrated writer friend, who passed away from AIDS in 1989. Duplicating many of Chatwin’s most notable journeys, Herzog evokes the late English wanderer’s restless soul and curious fascination with profound issues that have long captivated the director. Following its Tribeca Film Festival world premiere, this sincere homage should entice adventurous viewers when it premieres on BBC Two later this year.
Channeling Chatwin, whom he rightfully dubs a “kindred spirit,” Herzog embarks on a “similar erratic quest” for the “nature of human existence” in “Nomad.” He begins with a trip to the Patagonia cave where Chatwin’s...
