Tune in on Wednesday, June 5, to watch a Q&A with supervising sound editor Dody Dorn, ACE; sound designer Blake Leyh; cinematographer Mikael Salomon, ASC as they discuss their work on the special edition of the 1989 science fiction film The Abyss. After two smash hits in a row with The Terminator and Aliens, James Cameron took on The Abyss, a characteristically ambitious underwater thriller that became the first commercial disappointment of his career. A few years after the film's theatrical release, Cameron went back to the deep to both further develop characters and properly realize the film's VFX-filled conclusion. The resulting special edition is a visual and aural groundbreaker with its Oscar-winning special effects, Oscar-nominated cinematography, and Oscar-nominated sound that admirably remains grounded due to its marital drama played out powerfully by Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Expertly edited by Conrad Buff, ACE, Joel Goodman and Howard E. Smith, ACE, 35 years after its release, this once-maligned film stands tall in the master filmmaker's filmography. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, June 5 at 8PM ET/5PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**

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 editor Lisa Fruchtman, as she discusses her work on the epic war film Apocalypse Now. Ending his hot streak in the 1970s with one of the most enigmatic, mesmerizing, and audacious films ever produced, Francis Ford Coppola made his grandest statement with 1979’s Apocalypse Now. A film with a famously troubled production that rivals the finished product for wild drama, this Vietnam War-set descent into madness is a herculean feat of filmmaking, particularly on the part of its four-person team of editors: Lisa Fruchtman; Richard Marks, ACE; Gerald Greenberg, ACE; Walter Murch, ACE. This team cut together well over one million feet of film (230 hours) to form a hallucinatory, haunting vision of the hell of war that, 45 years later, has lost none of its horrifying impact. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, June 25 at 8PM ET/5PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**
