Cave of Forgotten Dreams

CA/USA/FR/GER/UK, 2010, directed by Werner Herzog

Since childhood, Werner Herzog has been fascinated by stone-age cave paintings. First discovered in 1994, the Chauvet Cave contains a large number of such paintings, some of the oldest in the world. In 2010, Herzog was given permission to shoot in the cave, which is not accessible to the public. The film presents the diversity of the different depictions there, while scientists explain the context in which these testimonies of early civilization were created.
