Artist and filmmaker Harrod Blank, son of BURDEN OF DREAMS director Les Blank, will join us to introduce the film on Friday, August 2.

“One of the most remarkable documentaries ever made about the making of a movie.”
—Roger Ebert

“A fascinating portrait of a filmmaker pushed to the outer edge of sanity.”
—All Movie Guide

Here the great documentarian Les Blank profiles his good friend, filmmaker Werner Herzog, as the German director fights the elements (and his lead actor) to make the epic FITZCARRALDO. Newly restored.

Catch FITZCARRALDO at AFS Cinema August 2 & 4.
