The Cinema as CanvasOrson Welles' F FOR FAKE (1973)
on the big screen
Thursday, March 19th at 7:30 PM
Hosted by artist Karl Bourke
Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In this free-form documentary by Orson Welles, the legendary filmmaker gleefully reengages with the central preoccupation of his career: the tenuous lines between illusion and truth, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles embarks on a dizzying journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripes. Charming and inventive, F for Fake is an inspired prank and a clever examination of the essential duplicity of cinema. (France, Iran, West Germany, 1973, 88 mins, English, French, Spanish | Dir. Orson Welles)
