Fakes: False child, art forgery, duplicitous moles, unreliable reality<\/b><\/p>\n

August is full of fakes: in Bart Layton’s jaw-dropping documentary The Imposter<\/i><\/a>, a man impersonates a missing child; James Marsh’s Shadow Dancer<\/i><\/a> is a fictional account of an IRA member turned informer; Orson Welles explores art forgery in F for Fake<\/i><\/a>; Israeli series Prisoners of War<\/i><\/a> deals with released prisoners who may have been \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcturned’; Powell and Pressburger’s I Know Where I’m Going!<\/i><\/a> creates authenticity through cinema trickery. We have features on myth fabrication in Searching for Sugar Man<\/i><\/a> and fakery in Christopher Nolan’s films<\/a>. Peter Strickland talks about his giallo<\/i> homage Berberian Sound Studio<\/i><\/a> while our Comic Review is on The Rutles<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In other cinema releases, we look at Ole Bornedal’s The Possession<\/i><\/a>. In DVD releases, we review Francis Ford Coppola’s 80s classic Rumble Fish<\/i><\/a>, and as the BFI start releasing the BBC A Ghost Story for Christmas<\/i><\/a> films, adapted from M.R. James, we look at the first two volumes.<\/p>\n

Our online movie is Secret Number<\/i><\/a>, an award-winning student film about a scientific conspiracy theory. We have a feature on the German festival dOCUMENTA (13)<\/a> and our report on Sheffield<\/a> includes a review of Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry<\/i><\/a>, out this month, and we have the second part of our Cannes<\/a> coverage, while in Alter Ego, author Kerry Hudson<\/a> is Working Girl<\/i> Tess McGill.<\/p>\n

PODCASTS:<\/b><\/a>
\nUnreliable Images<\/a>: In a pair of Q&As recorded at SCI-FI-LONDON<\/a>, the London International Science Fiction and Fantastic Film Festival, Alex Fitch talks to director John Simon about his adaptation of Philip K. Dick’s Radio Free Albemuth<\/i> and to director Berton Pierce and special effects expert Greg Aronowitz about the film Sense of Scale<\/i>, a documentary on model making in the cinema.<\/p>\n
