Encounters at the End of the World is a 2007 American documentary film by Werner Herzog. The film studies people and places in Antarctica. It was released in North America on June 11, 2008, and distributed by THINKFilm.

Synopsis

Herzog and cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger go to Antarctica to meet people who live and work there, and to capture footage of the continent's unique locations. Herzog's voiceover narration explains that his film will not be a typical Antarctica film about "fluffy penguins," but will explore the dreams of the people and the landscape. They begin at McMurdo Station and interview some maintenance and support workers, as well as iceberg geologist Douglas MacAyeal. They travel next to a nearby seal camp supervised by zoologist Olav Oftedal. Next they join the film's composer/producer, research diver Henry Kaiser at his diving camp, and interview cell biologist Samuel Bowser and zoologist Jan Pawlowski. Kaiser and Bowser stage a rooftop guitar concert.

C'est une grotte immense, protégée du monde depuis 20 000 ans parce que le plafond de son entrée s'est effondré. C'est un sanctuaire incrusté de cristaux et rempli de restes pétrifiés de mammifères géants de la période glaciaire. Pourtant, ce n'est pas le seul trésor que ce lieu unique au monde avait à nous offrir… En 1994, au sud de la France, les scientifiques qui ont découvert la grotte sont tombés, ébahis, face à des centaines de peintures rupestres, des oeuvres d'art spectaculaires réalisées il y a plus de 30 000 ans - presque deux fois plus vieilles que les peintures rupestres les plus anciennes découvertes jusqu'alors. Ces dessins, ces oeuvres, ces témoignages exceptionnels ont été créés à l'époque où les hommes de Neandertal parcouraient encore la terre, en un temps où les ours des cavernes, les mammouths et les lions étaient les espèces dominantes sur notre continent.

The film opens with stock footage of the Amondauas' first contact with modern Brazilians in 1981. Herzog states that they had previously only a "stone age existence", with no knowledge of metalworking. Within several years, the majority of the tribe had been wiped out, most killed by chicken pox and the common cold.

The film opens with shots of Klaus Kinski performing – after his own interpretation – the role of Jesus. Kinski harangues the audience for not paying attention to him, curses wildly, has the microphone taken away from him, and, screaming, steals it back. Kinski left one of his Jesus tours to star in Herzog's film, Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972). This was the first of five films that the two would make together, the others being Nosferatu the Vampyre (1978); Woyzeck (1978); Fitzcarraldo (1982); and Cobra Verde (1987).
