George Orson Welles (/ˈwɛlz/; May 6, 1915 – October 10, 1985) was an American actor, director, writer, and producer who worked in theatre, radio, and film. He is remembered for his innovative work in all three: in theatre, most notably Caesar (1937), a Broadway adaptation of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; in radio, the 1938 broadcast "The War of the Worlds", one of the most famous in the history of radio; and in film, Citizen Kane (1941), consistently ranked as one of the all-time greatest films.
Welles directed a number of high-profile stage productions for the Federal Theatre Project in his early twenties, including an innovative adaptation of Macbeth with an entirely African American cast, and the political musical The Cradle Will Rock. In 1937 he and John Houseman founded the Mercury Theatre, an independent repertory theatre company that presented an acclaimed series of productions on Broadway through 1941. Welles found national and international fame as the director and narrator of a 1938 radio adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds performed for his radio anthology series The Mercury Theatre on the Air. It reportedly caused widespread panic when listeners thought that an invasion by extraterrestrial beings was occurring. Although some contemporary sources claim these reports of panic were mostly false and overstated, they rocketed Welles to notoriety.

Cameron enters a student film contest, though he lacks the resources of his peers. Learning that Flash is a retired Hollywood gaffer-and the only surviving crew member from Citizen Kane-Cameron follows him to his home at the Motion Picture Residence for the Elderly, a colony of aging film folk set aside by the industry.

Orson Welles - War Of The Worlds - Radio Broadcast 1938 - Complete Broadcast. The War of the Worlds was an episode of the American radio drama anthology series Mercury Theatre on the Air. It was performed as a Halloween episode of the series on October 30, 1938 and aired over the Columbia Broadcasting System radio network. Directed and narrated by Orson Welles, the episode was an adaptation of H. G. Wells' novel The War of the Worlds. The first two thirds of the 60-minute broadcast were presented as a series of simulated "news bulletins", which suggested to many listeners that an actual alien invasion by Martians was currently in progress. Compounding the issue was the fact that the Mercury Theatre on the Air was a 'sustaining show' (it ran without commercial breaks), thus adding to the p...

In this video, director/editor Joey Scoma compares and contrasts versions of the 1958 film TOUCH OF EVIL and shows us how the arduous process of editing pushes and pulls the overarching narrative of a film. Take a page out of this incredible piece of film history and see how even the most minor of edits can act as a powerful storytelling tool. The editing process is one of the most elusive parts of filmmaking to teach and it's rare to get a glimpse into the often private and meticulous decisions filmmakers make in the edit bay. With the film TOUCH OF EVIL, we are afforded that rare glimpse into the creative thought process of Orson Welles, often considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. After writing, acting in, and directing the film, Welles was abruptly fired from t...

Arena - The Orson Welles Story The film was based on the play "Five Kings". It was written by Orson Welles and condensed William Shakespeare's "Henry IV, V, VI" and "Richard III" into one show. He produced the show in New York in 1939 but the opening night, during which Part 1 was performed, was a disaster and Part 2 was never put on. He revamped the show and revisited it in 1960. Again, it was not successful. However, this later production was used as the basis for the movie. Orson Welles' favorite of his films.

Director Frank Pavich was at Fantastic Fest 2013 to screen his movie “Jorodowsky’s Dune,” which won the Audience Award for Best Film as well as the Jury Award for Best Documentary. We gleaned some insight into a cinematic spectacle which included Salvador Dali, Mick Jagger, Orson Welles, and the music of Pink Floyd, and which sadly, never happened. Pavich does convince us that if not for Jorodowsky’s vision, we never would have had Star Wars or Blade Runner. Sony Pictures Classics picked up the film when it premiered at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival. It will be released in the US in early 2014. http://amfmstudiosnews.com/jodorowskys-dune-frank-pavich-interview/
‘Roman Polanski: My Inspirations’, is a 2015 documentary interview by Laurent Bouzereau presented for the first time ever to the public on this occasion and accompanied by a selection of films. The filmmaker Roman Polanski conducts a voyage down memory lane from his first encounters with the filming, lights and illusions of cinema, evoking emotions that have remained with him over the years. Starting from his experiences in the theater, the filmmaker identifies a series of films that helped forge his fantasy, and which create a range of models to draw upon, as well as formal solutions he can appropriate. Polanski describes the way in which his experience as a spectator lies at the origin of archetypes that have become constant points-of-reference in his work as a cineaste. For the filmma...
