Editor Bob Murawski at work on The Other Side of the Wind. He will speak on Saturday at the Wisconsin Film Festival. (A Final Cut for Orson | Netflix)
The Other Side of the Wind will be shown on the big screen in Orson Welles’ native Wisconsin for the first time on Saturday, April 6.
A 35mm print will be screened at Chazen Museum of Art at the University of Wisconsin in Madison at 3 p.m.
The film is being screened in Madison as part of the Wisconsin Film Festival, which got underway today and runs through April 11.
The Other Side of the Wind will be introduced by Bob Murawski, an Oscar-winning editor (The Hurt Locker) who completed the film for Netflix last year.
Murawksi will be joined at the festival by his The Hurt Locker partner and wife, editor Chris Innis. They will discuss their rescuing of Duke Mitchell’s exploitation effort Gone with the Pope. Innis will discuss the history of Frank Perry’s The Swimmer following a 35mm screening of that 1968 classic at 6 p.m.
Murawski received the first-ever Campari Passion for Film Award at the 75th annual Venice Film Festival, where The Other Side of the Wind had its world premiere in August 2018.
The Other Side of the Wind, which Welles shot in the 1970s but did not complete editing before his death in 1985, appeared on four dozen Best Films of 2018 lists. It was honored by the National Society of Film Critics, National Board of Review, National Association of Film Critics, San Francisco Film Critics Circle and Los Angeles Film Critics Association.
