Orson Welles read Isaac Woodard's affidavit on national radio. Five weeks later, the FBI found the cop. He confessed. The jury acquitted in 30 minutes. youtube.com/watch?v=-30_NNOb…

“My Name Is Orson Welles”, na Cinemateca Francesa, radiografa seu exigente percurso, “cidadão de nenhum território fixo, exceto o da arte”, como cravou Kenneth Tynan, numa exposição em cinco seções e mais de 400 itens, desenhos próprios, documentos escritos, fotografias e trechos de filmes, e uma ampla retrospectiva de seus filmes, das filmagens episódicas, de suas criações ou participações televisivas, da filmografia como ator, dos documentários em busca de decifrá-lo.

Six years ago today, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND debuted in 190 countries before 200M @Netflix subscribers — giving Orson Welles the audience he deserved. Kudos and thanks to Filip Jan Rymsza, Frank Marshall, Bob Murawski and the late Mo Henry and Peter Bogdanovich.
