#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 29: Deception on #SmokeAndMirrorsDay

Vérités et Mensonges is what it's actually called, but you may know it as F for Fake (1973). Orson Welles and three uncredited fellow conspirators – Gary Graver, Oja Kodar, and François Reichenbach – delve into the world of #art forger Elmyr de Hory by way of his biographer Clifford Irving. Welles et al free-associate with concepts of art, lies, #deception, and #authenticity. Houdin, Welles, Picasso and Hughes, hoaxers, hucksters and artists in their own right. And then it's over: this work of art, this sleight of hand, this demonstration of factuality, an exposé.

I finished the film SANS SOLEIL (1983, d. Chris Marker). I've seen it before and it's one of my favorites. Amazing film that often gets called a documentary but is really a film essay of sorts; a kind of meditation on society, time, memory, culture, and the nature of being. Marker was one of the greatest and most enigmatic filmmakers.
