    ORSON WELLES'S DELIGHTFULLY SHIFTY DOCUMENTARY Trickery. Deceit. Magic. In F for Fake, a freeform documentary by ORSON WELLES (Citizen Kane), the legendary filmmaker (and selfdescribed charlatan) gleefully reengages with the central preoccupation of his career: the tenuous line between illusion and truth, art and lies. Beginning with portraits of the worldrenowned art forger Elmyr de Hory and his equally devious biographer, Clifford Irving, Welles embarks on a dizzying journey that simultaneously exposes and revels in fakery and fakers of all stripesnot the least of whom is Welles himself. Charming and inventive, F for Fake is an inspired prank and a clever examination of the essential duplicity of cinema. Features: Restored digital transfer, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack Audio commentary from 2005 by cowriter and star Oja Kodar and director of photography Gary Graver Introduction from 2005 by filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich Orson Welles: OneMan Band, a documentary from 1995 about Welles's unfinished projects Almost True: The Noble Art of Forgery, a 52minute documentary from 1997 about art forger Elmyr de Hory 60 Minutes interview from 2000 with Clifford Irving about his Howard Hughes autobiography hoax Hughes's 1972 press conference exposing Irving's hoax Extended, 9minute trailer PLUS: An essay by critic Jonathan Rosenbaum

At last she travels north across the Arctic Circle up through Norway to Svalbard the most northerly permanently inhabited place on Earth where she has to cope with temperatures approaching minus 30 deg C. With a box of crayons in hand her journey takes her from train to boat to husky-sled to snowmobile as she is pulled ever northwards by what she calls 'the strongest point of the compass'. She explores the romantic fjords of Lofoten and learns to ride a snowmobile speeding across endless expanses of Lapland tundra with a Sami herdsman in search of his reindeer. As she reaches the Arctic Ocean she prepares for bed in a hotel made entirely of ice. Everywhere she goes she asks about the mysterious Northern Lights.

    In Pole to Pole, Michael Palin follows the success of his original global trek, Around the World in 80 Days, with a race against time to get from the North Pole to the South Pole. Palin balks at nothing, tries just about anything and always finds time for a spot of tea. En route Palin stars in a crayfish documentary in Novgorod, attends a baby-rolling ceremony at a Cypriot wedding, gets stuck in a Nile traffic jam, buys chicken in Wadi Halfa, goes camel shopping in Khartoum and is prescribed tree bark by a Mpulugu witch doctor to get rid of his evil shadow. Even when things go according to plan, Palin travels in unusual ways--by dogsled on Spitsbergen, barge down the Dnieper, train roof across the Nubian Desert, van through the Sudan, hot-air balloon over Kenya and down Lake Tanganyika on the "African Queen". With curiosity, courage and his standard aplomb, Palin plunges himself into the local cultures, beating himself with birch branches in a Finnish sauna and wallowing in mud in an Odessa sanatorium. It all makes for an armchair traveller's delight. --Tara Chace

    HERE'S A LITTLE STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD...In early 1980s New York City, independent filmmaker Charlie Ahearn and downtown artist Fred Brathwaite ventured uptown with the aim of capturing an exciting new underground scene that was happening in the South Bronx, a scene that featured graffiti artists, breakdancing b-boys and two turntables and a microphone. The result was Wild Style, and to many viewers it was their first glimpse of the musical and cultural phenomenon called hip-hop.In this unique hybrid of fiction and documentary, the story of lone graffiti artist Lee Zoro Quiñones trying to achieve success on his own terms is brought to vivid life with support by Fred Fab 5 Freddy Brathwaite, Sandra Lady Pink Fabara and Patti Astor, and with historic music performances by such luminaries as Grandmaster Flash, Busy Bee, The Fantastic Five, The Cold Crush Brothers and The Rock Steady Crew. To create the score, Chris Stein (Blondie) would collaborate with Brathwaite to produce the actual breakbeats to be used in the film, an inspired decision that would provide a source of obsession among crate diggers for decades to come.Endlessly sampled, imitated and debated, Wild Style is the truest portrait of the hip-hop scene during its early years, and remains one of the most important music films ever made. Arrow Films is proud to present Wild Style in an exclusive new 4K restoration with hours of brand-new bonus features, vintage interviews and featurettes.LIMITED EDITION BLU-RAY CONTENTS120 page perfect bound collector's book featuring new and archival essays and articles, alongside an extensive collection of stills and artwork from the film Reversible sleeve featuring two original artwork options Double-sided foldout poster featuring two original artwork options Exclusive mini-version of the Wild Style issue of Hip-Hop Family Tree comic book by Ed Piskor Three Wild Style logo stickersDISC 1 - FEATUREBrand new 4K restoration from the original 16mm negative by Arrow Films High Definition (1080p) Blu-ray presentationNewly restored original lossless mono audio Optional English subtitles Brand new audio commentary with Jeff Chairman Mao and Andrew Monk One Mason Legacy commentary featuring director Charlie Ahearn and Fred Fab 5 Freddy Brathwaite Down by Law: Creating the Music of Wild Style, a brand new interview with Charlie Ahearn, Chris Stein and Fred Fab 5 Freddy Brathwaite Theatrical trailer Image galleryDISC 2 - EXTRASThe Origin Story, an interview with Lee Quiñones and Fred Fab 5 Freddy Brathwaite Studio/Benchmark, an interview with Lee Quiñones Archive footage from Wild Style's 1983 Japanese Tour Two panel discussions and footage from the Wild Style 40 exhibition ZDF TV Wild Style 30th anniversary featurette Rammellzee in the Battle Station featuretteFeaturettes from the Wild Style 20th, 25th and 30th anniversary shows Smith Projects Gym (1977) Archival featurettes and interviews from the players and performers of Wild Style Outtakes Subway Rap music video 2025 Restoration and Theatrical trailersDISC 3 - LIMITED EDITION EXCLUSIVE CD Exclusive new Wild Style Megamix by Jorun Bombay Original radio spots by Fab 5 Freddy and Queen Lisa Lee Rare alternate mixes of Subway Rap and Wild Style Theme Rare audio outtakes from the film and soundtrackRare 1983 radio interview with Charlie Ahearn
