During his remarkable 40-year career, Werner Herzog has made some of world cinema’s boldest films. In Lo and Behold, he focuses on the internet, pointing out that if all the data transmitted online for only one day was burned on to CDs, the pile would stretch to Mars and back. Society depends on the Internet for nearly everything but rarely do we step back and recognize its endless intricacies and unsettling omnipotence. Werner Herzog explores – in a playful yet chilling examination - our rapidly interconnecting online lives, and speculates on our future as the internet changes the world in as yet unimaginable ways.

“The cinema’s most curious filmmaker is the right guy to ponder the wonders of the Internet Age, and its perils..”

For those looking for a ride through our modern technological world, or indeed a preview of what is to come, this is it.
