The winning film will be shown prior to a screening of Herzog’s Encounters at the End of the World on September 27th, 2009 at the Barbican.
Herzog is a director renowned for his spectacular films about how man and nature interact; Encounters at the End of the World is a documentary film about survival in Antarctica. The film will be released on DVD by Revolver Entertainment on August 31st, 2009.
