Orson Welles Retrospective

The Orson Welles retrospective is the this year's "must see"-event. It features works rarely seen in Finland, including F for Fake (1973) and Filming Othello (1978). The documentary Working with Orson Welles (1994) is Welles' co-worker and friend Gray Graver's tribute to the master's life work.

The Orson Welles short film medley features some true rarities, such as the debut film Hearts of Age (1934) and treats like a clip from the lost Merchant of Venice (1969) and the Lucy Show episode I love Lucy meets Orson Welles. The event ends with a swig of Wells' commercials for the Japanese Nikka-whiskey.
