This immersive 3D documentary chronicles the art of German innovative painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer. The film illuminates his work, life journey, creative process, and the artist’s fascination with myth and history. Director Wenders called the film “a labor of love.”

Among many honors, he has received three nominations for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for Buena Vista Social Club (1999), Pina (2011), and The Salt of the Earth (2014).
