Weekly Initiative News- 4/29/13

On May 1st Machine Project and East of Borneo will team up to present a special screening of Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe.

The short documentary features Herzog fulfilling the bet that if his friend Errol Morris completed his film on the subject of pet cemeteries—what would be Morris’s debut release “Gates of Heaven” (1979)—Herzog would eat his shoe. The film follows Herzog as he cooks his own Clarks boots in duck fat and garlic with the help of Alice Waters at Chez Panisse. Following the film, refreshments will be served:
