The Eyes Of Orson Welles, @markcousinsfilm's excellent impressionistic biography of Welles is currently on iPlayer.

With The Other Side Of The Wind and They'll Love Me When I'm Dead out, 2019 is promising to be a very Wellesy year.

"A Portrait In Depression... An impression on a wall that outlines my silouhette. This is a consequence of depression. You can tell that it did not happen overnight. It's beacuse I lingered here. Because depression is such that you do not do much."
Zbigniew Fiks in The World Of Z

@a_zweig 😆 Will approach with caution.

Essentially an overdone DVD extra for a DVD that was never released, "Vinyl: The Alternate Take" is 95 minutes of out takes from my 2000 record collecting doc Vinyl (2000).

@a_zweig Fantastic news! Cheers, Alan.

"...the life of an artist. It's very lonely. People reject you, people accept you. You don't know what influence you're having. You kind of toss stuff out there and hope for the best."
