“I don’t want to be introduced, because I don’t want this to seem like a formal occasion.” So begins a conversation in February 1983 at the Cinémathèque française in Paris, featuring Orson Welles and a group mostly made up of film students in which the 66-year-old director desires more of “a seance or a dialogue, saying, “I am more curious about you than you are about me.” What follows is a fascinating 1.5-hour talk in which the fairly jovial Welles––who would pass away three years later and hadn’t completed a feature in over a decade, since F for Fake––touches on many aspects of filmmaking craft without getting into specific anecdotes of his work.

Caroline Champetier: I’ve always tried to take a step back from what I’m doing. The more I work, however, the less I’m able to deal with this exercise.
