WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

Hope this information could become an impulse to make aviable the material actualy prepared in Munich... the fragments in the "one man band" old documentary is the only way to have an inside in the movie....

Criterion edition is superlative, but a new blue ray edition of this new restauration could be welcom for this increadible masterpiece.

Of course the blue ray sold on ebay is an amateur bootleg. You just have to see the disc itself to understand what you have in hand....

As I never saw the Welles 40 minutes editing and Gary Graver's one I was thinking about the same thing in my post: to have the first fragmentary editing before Netflix project resurection. As the time pass, The other side of the wind become for me even greater than before. It's truely an increadible...

Many thanks for this new information. I confess the most interresting could be to have unseen scenes or the first longer montage of the film. Of course, it will sound probably stupid to the staff, as Orson Welles enthousiasts are always wanting for much more... but I suppose it will be a market attr...

Shearching for.... Few month before Welles arrived in Brazil, the great conductor Toscanini came to south america in the same political gesture to conduct series of concerts and came to Rio. He returned again few month later to south america, but in Buenos Aires, teatro colon to give special concert...

Just an idea about the old indiegogo TOSTW campagne. As it is now quite sure it will be impossible to send the books and dvds long time ago promised, could it be possible to have a special NFT serie for us? A short unpublished and unknown clip from the film as a collectible NFT send to persons who g...

If only it could exist a "New-York Theatre" in Paris with the same program...

The terrible nightmare is at 20' 00 on your video. I knew about that possibility, and the fact you can lost many ninutes of music if it happen. During the process transfer time I was in a horrible heart stress state. But all go on the good way and the wire is now safe. Many thanks for your interest ...

I was realy surprised when I discover it was on wire recording. I know about this but never see or heard one of them. In France it was never used to record music but only voice with very poor sounding result. In US there were quite Hi Fi results for the time (1945-1955) I contacted some very special...

Always possible! Just to share in the same subject, after shearching for the lost and unknown Lotte Lehmann live final winterreise concert recording during years, and a sort of epic quest, I finaly found the original and unique recording. It was on a wire recording, never heard since 1951, with impr...

George Mourier make an extraordinary discoverie during the restauration. At the origin there were two differents montages of theGance Napoleon using différents screening. By the time all the restaurations on Napoleon were done using parts from the two versions without knowing it and making each time...

After The other side of the wind, Netflix is now turning to Abel Gance Napoleon. The french cinemathéque is working on a magistral reconstruction under the direction of George Mourier since...2008! Netflix is now providing money to make the completion aviable for 2021 and Napoleon aniversary. There ...

Sad to discover the streeming service is only aviable in US. I still have to wait to watch it and hope about another streaming méthode to have it in France. I hope about a cinéma projection in Lyon -as it was for The other side of the wind. If Netflix is not interrested with this new Welles opus, Mu...

The anonce of the Hopper-Welles film is such an increadible surprise ! One of the most interresting thing is the fact it come from The other side of the wind, as another film in the film, another way to expand it and see it in à more profund and complexe way. Again, it put this film as a still livin...
