It’s been 30 years since the death of one of the most influential filmmakers of all time, Orson Welles. This year also marks what would have been his 100th birthday.

At the Sedona International Film Festival, which begins Friday, Feb. 20, his life and work will be honored.

The man who is known for creating “Citizen Kane” and delivering a convincing radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds” will be shown in a deeper light thanks to screenings of his rarer work, including “Falstaff: Chimes at Midnight” and multiple opportunities to hear his daughter Beatrice speak about his life.

Beatrice Welles is a Sedona local and will answer questions during the film fest’s run of her father’s films. Her paintings will also be shown alongside her father’s at the Goldenstein Gallery congruent to the film fest.

The art display features work Orson Welles created during or after many of his films, Beatrice said.

“Somebody can watch a movie that he did then drive for four minutes and go see the painting he did during the movie. That’s not going to happen anywhere else,” she said.
