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 film. 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
Institute français will screen a selection of Herzog’s fiction films.
