The good folks in Woodstock, busy preparing the 2018 Orson Welles Creative Arts Festival (scheduled for October) have graciously allowed us to link to this beautiful 4-minute video made for their 2016 OW fest. Brings back fond memories of being in the audience for that fascinating painting performance by Tibetan artist Tashi Norbu, who he said was partially inspired by Welles's "Lady From Shanghai". It was like watching a Jackson Pollock come to life:

Turin Welles archive

Turin film museum contains trove of Orson Welles papers:
http://www.wellesnet.com/turin-museum-orson-welles/
"We found this archive just by chance. I was working on my upcoming book about Too Much Johnson and talking to Professor Franco Prono of the University of Turin," said Studer, a PhD student at Udine University. "Professor Prono told me, 'Did you know at the National Cinema Museum in Turin that we have an Orson Welles archive?' And I said, 'What? Are you kidding me?' Even (noted Welles scholar) Ciro Giorgini did not know anything about Turin."
One of the main things the Turin archive has that UM archive doesn't is the script for "Soldier, Soldier", written in the late 1960s.
