The conference will take place Saturday 17 morning to Sunday 18 

September 2005 evening.  For Friday 16 evening, Werner Herzog has been 

invited to take part in an on-stage discussion with Professor Thomas 

Elsaesser (University of Amsterdam). We very much hope that his filming 

schedule will permit him to join us for the evening of 16 September 

followed by the UK premiere of his latest ‘documentary’. In addition to 

the screenings, a selection of Herzog’s documentary and fiction films 

is being co-sponsored by the Goethe-Institut and the Institute 

français. From 12 September, the Goethe-Institut will screen a range of 

Werner Herzog’s documentaries. Starting at the weekend of the 

conference, the Institut français will screen a selection of Herzog’s 

fiction films.
