Our February American Cinema Editors (ACE) Presents at Metrograph is My Architect: A Son’s Journey, Nathaniel Kahn’s Oscar-nominated 2003 documentary about his father, the acclaimed American architect Louis Kahn. The film was edited by Sabine Krayenbühl, who will join us for a post-screening Q&A.
Louis Kahn is considered by many historians to be the most important architect of the second half of the twentieth century. While his artistic legacy was a search for truth and clarity, his personal life was secretive and chaotic. His mysterious death in Penn Station in 1974 left behind three families—one with his wife, and two with women with whom he had long-term affairs. As the child of one of those extramarital relationships, filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn sets out on a journey to reconcile the life and work of this mysterious man he called his father. Along the way, Kahn visits many of his father’s buildings, including the Yale Center for British Art, the Salk Institute, and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, and speaks with renowned architects including Philip Johnson, Frank Gehry, I. M. Pei, and Anne Tyng.

American Cinema Editors Presents ... A Screening of Cool Hand Luke Followed by a Discussion with Bobbie & Molly O'Steen
Saturday, March 28, 7:30pm
Metrograph, NYC.
For the fourth time in four years, Bobbie O’Steen and Molly O’Steen are returning to Metrograph in NYC to discuss the editing work of the late Sam O’Steen. Our latest ACE Presents at Metrograph is Cool Hand Luke.
Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American prison drama directed by Stuart Rosenberg, starring Paul Newman in the title role. The cast also features George Kennedy, Strother Martin and Jo Van Fleet. The film is about a nonconformist convict in an early 1950s Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system. Sam O’Steen was the film’s editor.
Shot during emerging popular opposition to the Vietnam War, the film was widely seen as an anti-establishment classic. The film received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor for Newman, with George Kennedy winning for Best Supporting Actor. In 2005, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, considering it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” SAVE THE DATE! Tickets will be on sale soon.
