Cave of Forgotten Dreams 3D
For his latest documentary Werner Herzog takes us on an incredible 3D journey into the Chauvet caves in Southern France: enormous chambers full of the oldest prehistoric art known to man. Modern 3D brings these ancient works of art to life like nothing else: glide through the cathedral-like cave, over cave formations and sloping passageways, across the beautiful 32,000 year old drawings. These scenes are interspersed by interviews with scientists musing on the cave's mysterious beauty, the evolution of creativity and the nature of humanity. Operatic, gorgeously accomplished and truly unforgettable: this is an extraordinary glimpse at, perhaps, the dawn of art itself.
To call the movie fascinating is akin to calling the Grand Canyon large. The Hollywood Reporter
The last sentence I ever expected to hear was 'Let's go see the 3D Werner Herzog film..' Yet, here it is, and it's fantastic. Vanity Fair
Is 3D the future of cinema? Or just another Hollywood experiment, an obsolete fad? Film industry consultant Michael Gubbins and cinematographer Terry Flaxton will discuss the emergence of 3D in a special Panel Discussion on Sun 3 April at 13:30.
I am so interested in Cave paintings, as they are evidence of our prehistoric man and probably the earliest pieces of art ever! I'm also interested in this because they could be regarded as the earliest forms of graffiti. I have only seen one film at the watershed and that was a planned uni trip but i feel this documentary will really make me put the effort in to go to the watershed for my own sake.
