This unique series is hosted by filmmaker Stanley Sheff, who worked closely with Welles as a collaborator, editor, and un-credited co-director on his unsold TV pilot The Orson Welles Show. Sheff will share stories from their professional collaboration and personal friendship, giving audiences a rare first-hand glimpse into the private world of Orson Welles.Doors at 7pm, show at 7:30pm and film at 8pm. Tonight's show: F for Fake. Orson Welles' free-form documentary about fakery focuses on the notorious art forger Elmyr de Hory and Elmyr's biographer, Clifford Irving, who also wrote the celebrated fraudulent Howard Hughes autobiography, then touches on the reclusive Hughes and Welles' own career (which started with a faked resume and a phony Martian invasion). On the way, Welles plays a few tricks of his own on the audience.
