OW tribute in Croatia

Postby Wellesnet » Sun Nov 15, 2015 5:17 pm

As part of the Zagreb Film Festival. Courtesy of Daniel Rafaelic:

Tomorrow, November 16, we start with the restored, previously unseen two hour TV appearance of OW in cult TV Zagreb show 3, 2, 1... kreni! show. The show was filmed 30.4.1979. and aired as a two part New Year special the same year. However it was shortened and dubbed. Now, thanks to the editing efforts of Leon Rizmaul (together we made THE OTHER SIDE OF WELLES in 2005.), we managed to restore this unique Welles TV interview to its original length. Here's the trailer: https://vimeo.com/144043325 (it finally reveals the mystery of "Rosebud" :D ).

In the retrospective I've also included THE TRIAL (filmed in Zagreb), THE SECRET OF NICOLAS TESLA (Croatian films starring OW and Oja Kodar), Othello, The Stranger and Filming Othello.

Parallel to this, Croatian national TV is showing MR. AKRADIN and THE OTHER SIDE OF WELLES, and documentary cinema DokuKino showed F for Fake.

Also, together with Fedja Gavrilovic, I'm the author of an exhibition 100 GODINA WELLESA/100 years of Welles, that focuses on Orson's relationship with the city of Zagreb and Croatia itself and includes the works of Croatian contemporary artists inspired by Welles' legacy. The exhibition is accompanied by the bilingual (English-croatian) book, that whose title page is in the attachment. The book also includes the interviews that Welles gave to (then) Yugoslav newspapers. The exhibition opening is Wednesday, November 18,in Zagreb's Glyptothek.
