Globetrotting German director Herzog honored at Venice festival

VENICE: Globetrotting filmmaker Werner Herzog, an eclectic risk-taker whose monumental works often explore humankind’s conflict with nature, was honored with a special award on Wednesday at the Venice Film Festival. The 82-year-old arthouse giant, who helped launch New German Cinema in the 1960s, received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement ahead of the debut of his latest documentary, “Ghost Elephants,” about a lost herd in Angola, on Thursday.
