5. ICE-Vision: F For Fake (Orson Welles, 1973)
Thursday, October 14 at 8 PM
Lamar Dodd School of Art Room S150
Film Studies major Will Stephenson continues ICE's informal weekly series, selecting a variety of
world cinema classics and subcultural curiosities.
"In F For Fake (completed in 1973), Welles shaped documentary footage into a loose-limbed but
tautly built cine-essay on "two world leaders in fakery": the prolific art forger Elmyr de Hory and
his biographer Clifford Irving, who himself counterfeited the autobio of Howard Hughes. Bearded
and bedraped, Welles serves as self-amused emcee to their strange inventions, and far from
passing judgment on these charismatic tricksters, the director admires them as fellow artists and
comrade tale-tellers, whose exploits reflect his own adventures in faking it...Accepted notions of
authenticity, fakery, experthood, aesthetic value, and narrative are not only debunked but
redefined." -The Village Voice

11. 6X6 Call for Entries: Consumption
Deadline October 21
http://hexadic.blogspot.com
Consumption is us, and the us-ness of us is getting to be a little overwhelming: big box stores,
holiday junk, landfills of fast food containers and plastic toys. Still, we cherish the cast off
remnants of our culture looping through YouTube and out into space. How is it that consumption
is both the act of consuming and the act of being consumed? Lindsey Klonoski will ponder this
subject in the next 6X6, November 3 at the Cine Lab from 7-8 PM.
About the Curator: Lindsey Klonoski is a multimedia video artist in Athens, Georgia. Winner of the
6X6 UGA Student Prize earlier this year, she is in her fourth year of study at the University of
Georgia earning a BFA in Digital Media. Klonoski grew up on Saint Simons Island, a small town on
the easternmost coast of Georgia. Her art is driven by the nostalgia of this town, specifically the
juxtaposition of its beauty and inviting appearance against the deeper layers of heartache, mystery,
and mysticism that resonate in the rural south. Her work explores human nature and emotions,
seeking to understand the disconnection between the two; simultaneously invoking lust and
discomfort, confusion and enticement.
