From Adelbarto Muller on Facebook:

ORSON WELLES: BANDA DE UM HOMEM SÓ (Orson Welles: One Man Band) is being launched at Festival de Brasília de Cinema, in Brazil. Orson Welles`s multiple artistic career (in radio, theatre, television, cinema, magic) and relations with classic literary texts (Heart Of Darkness, Don Quixote, Moby Dick) are examined in this book. The chapters on IT'S ALL TRUE and DON QUIXOTE result from intensive research in archives, and in the case of DON QUIXOTE, I propose a partial reconstruction of Orson's mythic adaptation. This research on Quixote is to be published soon in Cinema Journal. "Adalberto Muller has spent a great deal of time researching on my father's unfinished "Don Quixote", traveling to Paris, Rome and elsewhere to view the surviving prints, and pondering the various alternatives that may make it possible to complete a viewable version of this film. I feel his article makes an important contribution to understanding the history, production and various mishaps along the way that befell what my father liked to call his "home movie."

THE OTHER SIDE OF ORSON WELLES
A PRESENTATION BY JOSEPH McBRIDE WITH ESTEVE RIAMBAU
THURSDAY, NOV. 19, 7 p.m., Smith Rafael Film Center, San Rafael, CA
JOSEPH McBRIDE, film historian and Professor at San Francisco State University, has written three books on Orson Welles, the most recent being What Ever Happened to Orson Welles?: A Portrait of an Independent Career. He also worked with Welles, as an actor on his long-gestating, still-unfinished drama about the film industry, The Other Side of the Wind. McBride will share stories about that film and its difficult history. He will also screen several rare shorts and clips that represent the work by Welles of which most people are unaware.
Spanish film scholar and director of the FilmTeca de Catalunya in Barcelona, ESTEVE RIAMBAU is the author of three books on Welles: Orson Welles: The Show Without Limits (1985), Orson Welles: An Immortal Spain (1993) and The Things We Have Seen: Welles and Falstaff (2015). Riambau is co-screenwriter of the documentary Orson Welles in the Land of Don Quixote and adapter of the play Yours Truly, Orson Welles (2008).
Program approximately 2 hours.

For the 30th anniversary of Welles's death.
"Orson Welles, 30 Years On: A Ghostly YouTube Presence Enthralls a New Generation":

http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/mov ... jycbe.html

This year also marks 30 years since Welles died and, paradoxically, during the past three decades it has become easier for us to know Welles than it was when he was alive.

This is because almost every film appearance Welles ever made, most of his interviews, his monologues, outtakes, and many of the documentaries he took part in from 1936 until 1985 have been posted on YouTube. It's the scattered detritus of a man's artistic and personal life collected in one convenient location. These hundreds of hours of miscellaneous footage tell us much more about Orson Welles' opinions and prodigious energies than any of the tendentious biographies. It's a repository in the clouds.
