Full Frame is wrapping up its "It's All Bull" mockumentary series at American Tobacco's Bay 7 this Wednesday night with an 8pm showing of Orson Welles' film "F For Fake," the final in a three-month series looking at "a few of fiction’s finest tributes to the documentary form" -- in this case, the legendary director's film telling a faux-story of a supposed art forger.
BCR readers get a chance to get in without the $5 fee at the door, though. Thanks to the folks at Full Frame for offering free tickets to the first twenty BCR readers who contact the documentary festival (email: info@fullframefest.org) by midnight on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
A raffle at Wednesday's screening will include two Film Passes for the 2010 festival as well; tickets are $10.
More on "F for Fake"--
Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In Orson Welles's free-form documentary F for Fake, the legendary filmmaker (and self-described charlatan) gleefully engages the central preoccupation of his career—the tenuous line between truth and illusion, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of world-renowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles embarks on a dizzying cinematic journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripes—not the least of whom is Welles himself. Charming and inventive, F for Fake is an inspired prank and a searching examination of the essential duplicity of cinema. (The Criterion Collection)
