  • Who's the Real Paul Masson? Personal Non-Identity in Deleuze's
    Who’s the Real Paul Masson? Personal Non-Identity in Deleuze’s Orson Welles Orson Welles had difficulty obtaining funding for his movies, so he raised his own money through acting. He even did commercial advertisements. Yet, we can hear in his infamous “frozen peas” outtakes that this was not always his favorite form of acting. Later, he endorsed Paul Masson wine in television commercials. We will see in the outtakes that he reads from a script. So, he is acting. And yet, the character he portrays is still he himself, still Orson Welles. And his job is to represent the product. If we drink enough Paul Masson champagne, we become drunk. In these outtakes, is Orson Welles intoxicated? Or is he perhaps faking or acting drunk? The final version uses the footage but with overdubbed audio. Does it feel like a more authentic presentation of Paul Masson wine? We compare the two and wonder, who’s the real Paul Masson? Both versions were scripted for Welles; both are false self-portrayals in a sense. But, did we feel that the first one was more real or had more power of authenticity of some sort? And, what about the humor in this parody? Does it not seem like an honest, and yet original, presentation? These clips serve to introduce our main theme of the originating power of the false, in its relation to fakery. We will combine Deleuze’s writings on determinability in the third synthesis of time with his explanation of Orson Welles’ notion of fakery. Somehow, fakery as forgery or as role-acting can be productive of our authentic self-becoming, and it is based on the temporal immediacy of the now and the next.

    EL MUNDO O NADA (THE WORLD OR NOTHING) INGRID VENINGER A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF FINE ARTS GRADUATE PROGRAM IN FILM YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO April 2019 © Ingrid Veninger, 2019 ABSTRACT This paper elaborates on the process of producing my thesis film, El Mundo o Nada (The World or Nothing), a documentary portrait of 29-year-old twin brothers, Rubert and Rubildo Donatien Dinza, beginning two-months after their migration from Cuba to Spain. For the brothers, The World means achieving one million friends on social media, making their parents proud, and gaining international recognition as performers, Nothing is not an option. Utilizing a diaristic approach, this paper engages with pioneers of the past, filmmakers of the present, and direct experience, in order to explore the challenges of making my first documentary. In contrast to my six previous fiction features, the intention with this project was to start filming without a preconceived outline, treatment or plan. By detailing the process of production in relation to cultivating conditions for discovery, this paper will explore a practice of “uncertainty” and what such a practice involves. Production took place in Barcelona over 11 days, May 21-31, 2018. Editing occurred in three stages over 33 days between July-November, 2018. Sound editing, mixing, and colour grading brought the film to completion in March 2019. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract ..............................................................................................................................
