Contemporary Documentaries
Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Directed by Werner Herzog (France-2011). This film is a breathtaking documentary which follows an exclusive expedition into the nearly inaccessible Chauvet Cave in France, home to the most ancient visual art known to have been created by man. This film is a cinematic experience that provides a unique glimpse of pristine artwork dating back to human hands over 30,000 years ago-almost twice as old as any previous discovery. (90 min.)
