    American Cinema Editors Presents ... A Screening of The Aviator's Wife on 35mm Followed by a Q&A with Editor Mary Stephen
    Sunday, October 5, 5:15pm
    Metrograph, New York City
    We’re welcoming acclaimed editor Mary Stephen after a 35mm screening of Éric Rohmer’s 1981 comedy The Aviator’s Wife. Mary was assistant editor on the film, working with editor Cécile Decugis, the start of a long collaboration with Rohmer as his editor. Su Friedrich will be moderating. She is an avant-garde filmmaker and writer, a pivotal figure in the establishment of Queer Cinema and the creator of the website Edited By, spotlighting the work of 206 female editors who helped revolutionize film editing. (website: https://womenfilmeditors.princeton.edu/)

    Like many of Rohmer's films, The Aviator's Wife deals with the ever-evolving love lives of a group of young Parisians. The film is the first installment in Rohmer's "Comedies & Proverbs" series — a collection of six films the director made during the 1980s. Each of these films begins with a proverb, in the case of The Aviator's Wife this is: "On ne saurait penser à rien" or "It is impossible to think about nothing."

    Mark Mylod’s The Menu (2022)
    Q&A moderated by educator Molly O’Steen

    Christopher Tellefsen, ACE, moved from assistant editing on films such as Martin Scorsese’s The Color of Money to editing defining films of the '90s like Metropolitan, Kids, Smoke, Flirting with Disaster, Gummo and Man on the Moon. This century has brought Capote, Moneyball (for which he was nominated for Best Editing at the Academy Awards), A Quiet Place, Nyad and The Menu.

    Metropolitan is a 1990 romantic comedy-drama produced, written and directed by Whit Stillman in his feature directorial debut. The film follows the lives of a group of wealthy young socialites during debutante season in Manhattan. In addition to some of their debutante parties, it covers their after-hours gatherings at a friend's Upper East Side apartment, where they discuss life, philosophy and their fate; form attachments, romances and intrigues; and react to an interesting but less well-to-do newcomer. The film was nominated for best original screenplay at the Academy Awards and won Best First Feature at the 1990 Independent Spirit Awards.

    The Menu is a 2022 black comedy horror film directed by Mark Mylod. It stars Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Hong Chau and John Leguizamo. The film follows a foodie and his date who travel to a remote island to eat at an exclusive restaurant where the chef has prepared a lavish but surprising menu. The film received a nomination for Best Editing, Comedy or Musical at the ACE Eddie Awards as well as Golden Globe nominations for Fiennes and Taylor-Joy.
