Feeling out of place in the modern world, 16-year-old Penelope (Megan Stott of Little Fires Everywhere) finds herself almost cosmically drawn to nature. With no plan in place, she leaves her family behind for the beguiling wilderness where she begins to establish a different kind of life for herself. As she learns by necessity, survivalism coalesces with coming of age in this poignant tale co-written by indie stalwarts Mark Duplass and Mel Eslyn, and directed and show-run by Eslyn.

  • Tommy 50th Anniversary Q&A with Actor Ann-Margret (Zoom Event)

    Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

    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 media literacy.
    Join us for a Q&A with actor Ann-Margret as she discusses her work on the 1975 psychedelic musical fantasy Tommy. Based on The Who's classic rock opera of the same name, this phantasmagoria of sights and sounds from British provocateur Ken Russell is a wild, oddly moving ride, filled to the brim with cameos from the likes of Jack Nicholson, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, and Elton John, along with The Who themselves. The highlight of this film, though, is Ann-Margret's Oscar-nominated performance. She dives into this material like most actors do with Shakespeare, giving a performance of depth, devotion, and gut-wrenching emotion as the titular character’s mother. Also starring frequent Russell collaborator Oliver Reed and Roger Daltrey himself, with editing by Stuart Baird, ACE, Tommy proved that The Who and Ken Russell were a match made in heaven.
    This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, July 8 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

    Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

    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 media literacy.
    Join us for a Q&A with highly lauded film editor, director, writer and sound designer Walter Murch as he reflects on the six decades of cinematic history which he has been a considerable contributor to – and on what makes great films great.

    Together with Francis Coppola and George Lucas, Murch abandoned Hollywood in 1969 and moved to San Francisco to create the Zoetrope studio. Their vision was of a new kind of cinema for a new generation of film-goers. Murch's subsequent contributions in film editing rooms and sound-mixing theatres were responsible for ground-breaking technical and creative innovations.

    In this book, Murch invites readers on a voyage of discovery through film, with a mixture of personal stories, meditations on his own creative tactics and strategies, and reminiscences from working on The Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, Lucas’ American Graffiti, and Anthony Minghella’s The English Patient and The Talented Mr Ripley.Suddenly Something Clicked is a book that will change the way you watch movies.
