Film Screening: "F for Fake" (Orson Welles, 1974, 89 min, France/Iran/West Germany, in English, French, and Spanish w/ English subtitles, Color, Blu-Ray) / A combination of illusion and truth, "F for Fake" focuses on the notorious art forger Elmyr de Hory, and his biographer, Clifford Irving, famous for falsifying Howard Hughes' autobiography. Charming and inventive, "F for Fake" is an inspired prank and a clever examination of the essential duplicity of cinema. / -- "A triumphantly self-amused, self-aware reflection on the verities of art and creativity and the lies that sustain them." -- Time Out / Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMkZWWLHGXU // The museum cafe opens for dinner at 5 PM on Thursdays.
