    JULY 20 | DEAN SLUYTER
    Natural Meditation
    (In-Person / Location Forthcoming)
    This session is a natural meditation, “no trying
    to concentrate, no trying to stop your thoughts,
    no trying to be mindful ... no trying, period.”
    With this approach, anyone can settle into inner
    quietness, as naturally as water flows downhill.

  • The Master – Followed by a Conversation with Editor Leslie Jones, ACE (LA Event)

    Featured
    Vidiots 4884 Eagle Rock Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    The next West Coast "American Cinema Editors Presents" event will be a screening of the 2012 psychological drama The Master followed by a conversation with editor Leslie Jones, ACE, at Los Angeles institution Vidiots.

    Join the cult of PTA with one of his best films, and one of the best performances of the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman. Anderson delves into a loose interpretation of Scientology with a side-helping of John Steinbeck’s life with this unsettling drama. Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) is a troubled, boozy drifter struggling with the trauma of World War II and whatever inner demons ruled his life before that. On a fateful night in 1950, Freddie boards a passing boat and meets Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the charismatic leader of a religious movement called the Cause. Freddie tries hard to adhere to Dodd’s weird teachings and forms a close bond with his mentor, even as other members of Dodd’s inner circle see him as a threat. Often cited as one of the best films of the century, Amy Adams, Joaquin Phoenix and Philips Seymour Hoffman were all nominated for acting Oscars for their roles.

    General Admission Tickets are $13
    (Vidiots Members Receive Discount)
    Proceeds benefit the Vidiots Foundation

  • Wet Hot American Summer Screening, followed by a Q&A with Editor Meg Reticker, Moderated by Mollie Goldstein, ACE (NY Event)

    Featured
    Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

    We’re wrapping up our third season of American Cinema Editors presents at Metrograph with a special August film, David Wain’s cult classic Wet Hot American Summer, with a Q&A to follow with the film’s editor Meg Reticker, moderated by Mollie Goldstein, ACE.

    The 2001 comedy features an ensemble cast festuring Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Molly Shannon, Paul Rudd, Christopher Meloni, Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper (his film debut) and Michael Showater, who wrote the screenplay with Wain.

    The film takes place during the last full day at a fictional summer camp in 1981, and spoofs the sex comedies aimed at teen audiences of that era.

    Roger Ebert gave the film one star out of four. In contrast, Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman awarded the film an “A” and named it one of the ten best films of the year. Actress Kristen Bell stated on NPR on September 2, 2012, that Wet Hot American Summer was her favorite film, having watched it "hundreds of times."

    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."
