• Don’t Look Now Q&A with Editor Graeme Clifford (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 film literacy.
    Join us for a Q&A with editor Graeme Clifford, as he discusses his 1973 thriller The Don't Look Now. Beginning on a rainy day in England before making its way through the labyrinthine passageways and canals of Venice, Don't Look Now is another in a string of 1970's classics from filmmaker Nicolas Roeg that have stood the test of time for their structural inventiveness and dramatic power. The film, beautifully adapted by Allan Scott and Chris Bryant from the Daphne du Maurier short story, follows a couple, Laura and John Baxter (Julie Christie and Donald Sutherland), who travel to Venice after their young daughter's death and the strange visions that begin to haunt John. Inventively cut by Graeme Clifford and routinely ranked as one of the finest British films of all time, Don't Look Now is a searing exploration of grief that grows deeper and more haunting with each viewing.

    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 writer/producer/director Jacques Audiard & editor Juliette Welfling, as they discuss their 2024 French musical crime comedy Emilia Pérez. Maverick filmmaker Jacques Audiard returned to the director’s chair this year with Emilia Pérez which tells the story of a Mexican drug lord who, with the help of a kind lawyer, decides to leave their violent past behind and become their true self by transitioning into Emilia Pérez. It’s a crime thriller and a family drama … and a musical. With committed performances from its entire cast including Karla Sofía Gascón, Zoe Saldaña, Selena Gomez, and Adriana Paz, who all shared the Cannes Best Actress Prize, Emilia Pérez proves to be a humane, touching work that’s further electrified by Audiard’s longtime editor, Juliette Welfling. Emilia Pérez is a film that walks several fine lines, pulling off a cinematic tightrope act that ranks as one of 2024’s most audacious and successful achievements.

  • Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior Q&A with Director/Co-writer George Miller (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 film literacy.
    Join us for a Q&A with director/co-writer George Miller, as he discusses his 1981 post-apocalyptic action film Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Long before Fury Road and Furiosa, George Miller redefined action cinema with his Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. Continuing the saga of Max Rockatansky through the wasteland of Earth, this film gave audiences a taste of the cinematic mastery that Miller would continue to display over the ensuing four decades. Bigger, crazier, and more exhilarating than its tiny-budgeted predecessor. Edited by David Stiven, Tim Welburn and Michael Balson, this film is everything a sequel should be and is rightfully considered one of the greatest films of the 1980s.
