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.

SAVE THE DATE!
Get ready for a surprise! The mighty Paul Verhoeven’s adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story is the kind of endlessly entertaining and subversive content that only gets more prescient as the years go by. Construction worker Douglas Quaid (The Governator) has a beautiful wife, a lovely house, but at night he dreams of Mars and an enigmatic brunette. While undergoing a virtual vacation, something goes wrong and throws him into a high-stakes adventure with an entire planet at stake. But is it just the implanted memories, or is it all too real? A thrilling, violent, and mind-bending science-fiction classic with the incomparable talents of Arnold Schwarzenegger and a smorgasbord of brilliantly crafted practical effects, Total Recall is still one of the most entertaining films ever.

The Squid and the Whale is a 2005 American independent comedy-drama written and directed by Noah Baumbach. It tells the semi-autobiographical story of two boys in Brooklyn dealing with their parents' divorce in 1986. The film was shot on super 16mm, mostly using a handheld camera, and is named after the giant squid and sperm whale diorama at the American Museum of Natural History.
The film, which stars Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline, won awards for best dramatic direction and screenwriting, and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Baumbach later was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The film received six Independent Spirit Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. Baumbach became one of the few screenwriters to ever sweep the major year end critics’ awards.

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.
