    A theater revolutionary at twenty, perpetrator of a stunning hoax at twenty-three, the force behind the greatest American film at twenty-six, and run out of Hollywood (the first time) at twenty-seven, Orson Welles co-wrote, starred in, and directed Citizen Kane, and wrote and directed The Magnificent Ambersons. He would later return from his second Hollywood banishment to craft Touch of Evil, hailed as the nigh-perfect finale to the film noir cycle. Though often dismissed during his career, we should never forget that Welles was, in the words of Martin Scorsese, “responsible for inspiring more people to be film directors than anyone else in history of the cinema.” Take this four-week course to see why. Taught at Bryn Mawr Film Institute by Andrew J. Douglas, Ph.D., BMFI's Director of Education.
