The extraordinary life of Orson Welles (1915-85), an enigma of Hollywood, an irreducible independent creator: a musical prodigy, an excellent painter, a master of theater and radio, a modern Shakespeare, a magician who was always searching for a new trick to surprise his audience, a romantic and legendary figure who lived only for cinema.

This film was not intended to stand by itself, but was designed as the cinematic aspect of Welles' Mercury Theatre stage presentation of William Gillette's 1894 comedy about a New York playboy who flees from the violent husband of his mistress and borrows the identity of a plantation owner in Cuba who is expecting the arrival of a mail order bride. The film component of the performance was ultimately never screened due to the absence of projection facilities at the venue. Long-believed to be lost, a workprint was discovered in 2008 and the film had its premiere in 2013.

Documentary about the battle between Orson Welles and William Randolph Hearst over Welles' Citizen Kane (1941). Features interviews with Welles' and Hearst's co-workers also as a relative complete bio of Hearst.

Documentary looking at Orson Welles and the production of the film CITIZEN KANE fifty years ago, considering the furore that accompanied it and the real life press baron William Randolph Hearst upon whom Kane is based, and his efforts to halt the film, destroy the negative and persecution of people involved with its production and showing. It includes BBC interviews with Welles made in 1960 and 1982, and film historian Robert Carringer looks at the scenes that never made it to the screen. American film critic Pauline Kael also analyses the film's enduring appeal. Extracts from "The RKO Story" (producer: Rosemary Wilton) and "Yesterday's Whitness" (producers: Christopher Cook and Stephen Peet).

스페인의 이비자 섬에는 희대의 사기꾼 2명이 있다. 세잔느와 르누아르의 모조화를 단숨에 그릴 수 있는 호리와, 호리의 전기를 쓰는 어빙이 바로 그들. 어빙은 이전에 하워드 휴즈의 가짜 전기를 쓴 게 밝혀지지만, 무엇이 진실인지는 알 수가 없다. 허버트 조지 웰스의 소설 <우주 전쟁>을 실제 상황 보도를 가장한 라디오 드라마로 만들어 미국을 충격의 도가니에 몰아넣었던 오슨 웰스가 다시 시도한 페이크 다큐멘터리 형식의 영화로, 편집을 통해 피카소가 오야 코다르를 훔쳐보는 듯한 장면을 연출해 냈다. 파블로 피카소가 ‘예술은 하나의 거짓말이다’라고 이야기 한 데에, 웰스는 ‘진실을 이해하기 위한 거짓말이다’라고 덧붙였다. 프랑수아 트뤼포는 이 작품의 편집이 특별하며 다큐멘터리와 같은 형식을 통해 시적인 느낌을 전달한다고 했다.
