Event Summary:

Picturehouse 441 and ACE are proud to be partnering on a series of live virtual Q&As as part of our mutual efforts to promote film literacy. Join us for a Q&A with director Matt Reeves as he discusses his 2014 science fiction film Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. After the critical and commercial success of Rise of the Planet of the Apes, filmmaker Matt Reeves took over directing duties for Dawn, making an even smarter, more emotional, and visually dazzling sequel that further tracks the rift between humans and a group of intelligent apes. Anchored by Andy Serkis’ typically expressive motion-capture work as ape leader Caesar, and edited by William Hoy, ACE, and Stan Salfas, ACE, this film both deepens and expands what came before it. What’s most thrilling about Dawn though is the passion with which Reeves infuses it. The rare filmmaker who can merge blockbuster cinema with filmic art, Reeves further breathed life into this once-dormant franchise and proved that it had a glorious, chest-thumping path forward. This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, October 1 at 9PM ET/6PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.
