Werner Herzog’s new documentary Cave of Forgotten Dreams is getting released around the UK this week.
The film follows Herzog’s exploration of the Chauvet-Pont-d’Arc Cave in southern France, which was discovered in 1994 and contains paintings and markings dating back thousands of years to the Paleolithic era.
Not open to the public, Herzog managed to get permission to film inside the cave with a small crew and specially modified 3D cameras and lights.
A remarkable film about an awe-inspiring place, you can read our full review here.
Unusually, the cinema chain Picturehouse is releasing it through their distribution arm and it will be screening at selected locations across the UK.
Tonight there will be special preview screenings after which Herzog will do a live Q&A session with Jason Solomons beamed live to cinemas (more details on that here).
From Friday it will be showing at the following UK cinemas in 3D and 2D, so just click on the links below for more details.

One reply on “UK Cinemas showing Cave of Forgotten Dreams”
I am trying to track down a showing of the film in 2D, in the London area. I have phoned the two cinemas named as showing it from Friday, but neither of them seem to know anything about this. Please can I have more info on where I can see the film in 2D
