Citizen Kane (35mm) 30 August, 2026
Memory, ego and the stories we tell ourselves shape the life of a powerful publishing tycoon.
1941 | G | 119 mins | D: Orson Welles
Following the death of newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane, a reporter attempts to uncover the meaning of Kane’s final word, “Rosebud.” What emerges is a mosaic of perspectives revealing ambition, power, loneliness and loss.
Directed by and starring Orson Welles, Citizen Kane presents a bold narrative structure, deep‑focus cinematography and innovative sound design. It remains a penetrating study of how identity is not only shaped but also obscured by how we record our own memories.
‘A film of extraordinary imagination and control.’ — Bosley Crowther, The New York Times
Presented on 35mm film prints from the NFSA collection.
