Biography
Orson Welles (1915, Kenosha, Wisconsin – 1985, Hollywood) was a tragic titan of 20th century culture. Film direction was only one of the many disciplines on which this multi-talented artist left his mark. If his feature film debut Citizen Kane (1941), shot when he was a mere 25 years of age, reflected the clearest departure from established narrative and technical conventions to date, then subsequent, often misunderstood works revealed a greater endeavour to attend to formal and intellectual aspects. This applies to the heavily cut The Magnificent Ambersons (1942), his very next work; masterpieces of Welles's mature period include Touch of Evil (1958), screened last year at Karlovy Vary, and also Chimes at Midnight. Film professionals worldwide are currently focused on efforts to complete The Other Side of the Wind, his most ambitious project from the early 1970s.
