Interview with Mark Cousins on "The Eyes of Orson Welles" (2018)Filmmaker Mark Cousins Prolific filmmaker Mark Cousins' latest oeuvre “The Eyes of Orson Welles” (2018) is a documentary about the eponymous genius canon auteur director, his influence on cinema and shaping the collective psyche of our modern culture. Starring Northern Irish-born, Scottish resident director Mark Cousins himself and Orson's daughter Beatrice Welles, they set out to show us who Orson really was, giving us an intimate view of the man behind the mastery. The film held its world premiere at the 71st Cannes Film Festival where it was nominated for the Golden Eye award and won 2nd prize.
I spoke with Mark about the film. Here is what he had to say:
When did your love for Orson Welles begin?
In your opinion, what made him such a misunderstood man?
Was it a long journey for you to make this homage?
When and how did you meet Beatrice and what was it like to work with her?
Have you seen his latest film, “The Other Side of the Wind” yet?
As an avid documentarian, do you prefer docs to fiction?
Was it hard getting into filmmaking in Scotland?
What are some of greatest docs that inspired you?
You won a prize for your doc at this year's Cannes. What was that like?
What are you working on next?
