Special screening of Burden of Dreams: The Making of Fitzcarraldo by Werner Herzog

In The Pines Studio presents a special screening of Burden of Dreams; a documentary following German auteur Werner Herzog as he deals with difficult actors, bad weather and getting a boat over a mountain, all in an effort to make his film Fitzcarraldo (1982). 

Introduction and talk back with filmmaker Matthew A. Brown:

Matthew A. Brown’s feature film directorial debut, Julia, was released theatrically in the US in AMC cinemas in October 2015 after winning multiple awards at the world’s leading genre film festivals and selling to over forty international territories.
