Dissatisfied with the way film schools are run , Herzog founded his own Rogue Film School in 2009 . The program is a 4-day seminar with Herzog , which occurs annually ( the last of which was held in March , 2016 in Munich ) . Courses include " the art of lockpicking . Traveling on foot . The exhilaration of being shot at unsuccessfully . The athletic side of filmmaking . The creation of your own shooting permits . The neutralization of bureaucracy . Guerrilla tactics . Self reliance . " For the students , Herzog has said , " I prefer people who have worked as bouncers in a sex club , or have been wardens in the lunatic asylum . You must live life in its very elementary forms . The Costa Ricans have a very nice word for it : '' pura vida '' . It does n’t mean just purity of life , but the raw , stark-naked quality of life . And that ’s what makes young people more into a filmmaker than academia . " Herzog was the president of the jury at the 60th Berlin International Film Festival in 2010
