Herzog will be feted at the 32nd European Film Awards on December 7 in Berlin, the organizers said in a statement. He is being recognized for his "outstanding body of work". Ironically, the director has never won a European Film Award and was only nominated once, in 1999 for ‘My Best Fiend’, his documentary on longtime collaborator and German actor Klaus Kinski.
Herzog recently released two documentaries – ‘Meeting Gorbachev’, on the former Soviet leader and ‘Nomad: In the Footsteps of Bruce Chatwin’. His latest feature film, ‘Family Romance, LLC’ is set to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.
