Paintings in 3d5/2/2023 Herzog was only allowed to bring a four-person crew into the cave, so he was just accompanied by cinematographer Peter Zeitlinger, a sound recordist (Eric Spitzer-Marlyn), and an assistant, and worked the lights himself. Everyone authorized to enter Chauvet Cave must wear special suits and fresh shoes that have not been worn outside, and, because of near-toxic levels of radon and carbon dioxide in the cave, nobody can stay inside for more than a few hours each day. He was given approval for six shooting days of four hours each, with numerous restrictions. To help preserve the artwork, access to the cave is restricted, and the general public is not allowed to enter, so Herzog had to get special permission from the French Minister of Culture to film inside. Herzog's interest in Chauvet Cave, and the paintings inside, was prompted by an article in The New Yorker entitled "First Impressions" by Judith Thurman, who is credited as one of the co-producers of the film. The film premiered on 13 September 2010 at the Toronto International Film Festival. It consists of footage from inside the cave, as well as of the nearby Pont d'Arc natural bridge, alongside interviews with various scientists and historians. Cave of Forgotten Dreams is a 2010 3D documentary film by Werner Herzog about the Chauvet Cave in Southern France, which contains some of the oldest human-painted images yet discovered-some of them were crafted around 32,000 years ago.
