Discovery Films arranged for a party to celebrate the launch of Werner Herzog's (shown here) latest documentary Encounters at the End of the World, screening at this year's festival.
Herzog's latest project takes him to the depths of the South Pole in Antarctica. It appears there is a lot of interest in this documentary. We will have to see where his journey will take us.
The soiree also allowed other filmmakers (director Scott Hicks pictured here) to enjoy each other's company, perhaps talk a little film but I think mostly, a chance to catch up and take a breather. It was a different perspective, for me, to see everyone enjoy a glass of wine while conversing with each other. I think we forget that filmmakers and those in the industry also need time to relax from the hustle that is TIFF.
