Drugie (cyfrowe) życie filmów Orsona Wellesa
The Second (Digital) Life of Orson Welles’ Films

Summary/Abstract: In the light of recent archival research, the story of Orson Welles' life and work is no longer as enigmatic and mysterious as it was in previous decades. But with new discoveries and the subsequent release of films restored and completed after the director's death, it remains a hot topic for his biographers. The author traces the influence of the technological process on the final shape of Welles' restored works mainly through the examples of "The Other Side of the Wind" (2018), the director's last film, and "Too Much Johnson" (1938), his medium-length debut found in 2013. The choice of these titles is dictated on the one hand by the fact that in both cases technology played a very important role, and on the other hand, by the fact that both films have not yet been described in depth.
