War Of The Worlds 70th Broadcast Anniversary

Northwest Film Forum
Seattle, WA

Before his ascendancy to icon of all things cinema, Orson Welles was a fledgling director in New Deal America. In 1938, the man who later brought the world Citizen Kane had an idea for a radio production he believed would strike fear in homes nationwide. Welles, the director of a New York Citybased radio program called "Mercury Theatre on the Air," adapted H.G. Wells novel War of the Worlds for the shows Halloween episode. Converting our cinema into a living room, Northwest Film Forum will celebrate the 70th anniversary of this historic radio program by playing the original broadcast in the cinema.
