The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner and God’s Angry Man
Saturday, May 31 11:30am
Monday, June 2 7pm
A pair of Werner Herzog’s underseen documentary shorts. God’s Angry Man focuses on Gene Scott, an old-school televangelist with a combative style—Herzog finds him glowering silently into a live television camera until the donations flow. High-speed cameras catch champion ski jumper Steiner flying high over spectators on his way to victory, or perhaps a gruesome fall. -Lee Gardner
