After Grizzly Man, the 30,000 year old cave art paintings at Chauvet-Pont-d'Arc in Southern France are next to undergo the Werner Herzog treatment. The German director and his team have gained exclusive access to the cave and the oldest cave paintings ever to have been found- the site is not accessible to the general public for conservation issues. "Cave of Forgotten Dreams" will be Herzog´s first documentary filmed in 3D and is to be released in April 2011.

In the meantime, we can enjoy a virtual tour of the caves at Chauvet and Lascaux.
