TORONTO -- The Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival said Tuesday that German director Werner Herzog will receive an outstanding achievement award at the festival, which runs April 28-May 7 in Toronto. North America's largest documentary festival also said that Canadian French-language filmmaker Serge Giguere will be the subject of this year's Focus On ..., a sidebar that provides a mid-career retrospective of work by a Canadian docu maker. Hot Docs said Herzog will take part in an informal discussion of his work and receive a retrospective of his documentaries, which include Land of Silence and Darkness (1971), The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner (1973) and My Best Fiend (1999).
