Join us for a Q&A with cinematographer Jarin Blaschke; editor Louise Ford, ACE; production designer Craig Lathrop, as they discuss their work on the film Nosferatu. A total descent into darkness, Robert Eggers’ reimagining of Nosferatu proves yet again why he is one of the most distinctive and exciting filmmakers working today. For this version, Eggers insists that evil must be looked at straight on, that it’s a part of everyday life, which makes this a provocative, potent, unnerving viewing experience. And, the film is a technical marvel that looks and feels like a demented fairytale, largely thanks to cinematographer Jarin Blashke, production designer Craig Lathrop, and editor Louise Ford, all of whom have worked on every one of Eggers' four features. This Nosferatu is one for the ages: at once reverential to F.W. Murnau’s original and also daring, modern, and a vision all its own.

Join us for a Q&A with writer/producer/director Adam Elliot as he discusses his stop-motion animated tragicomedy Memoir of a Snail. Adam Elliot has not made a feature film since 2009’s beguiling Mary and Max. The 15-year wait turned out to be well-worth it, though, as Memoir of a Snail is as personal and moving as its predecessor. Edited by Bill Murphy and brought to life by an outstanding voice cast led by Sarah Snook, this tale of the odd, dysfunctional, and darkly funny life of a woman named Grace is full of endless surprises and a deep well of emotion. Only the second R-rated film ever nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, Memoir of a Snail is an ultimately hopeful, life-affirming story of a woman coming into her own against all odds from one of the most distinctive voices working in animation today.

Join us for a Q&A with writer/editor/director Gints Zilbalodis & co-writer/producer Matīss Kaža as they discuss their animated fantasy adventure Flow. An animated film in which animals actually act like animals and flood waters fill a wondrous, almost otherworldly landscape, Flow charts a new course for feature animation with its innovative style and exceptional command of storytelling. Through action, a gorgeous score, and an immersive soundscape, filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis and writer/producer Matīss Kaža create a haunting, gorgeously-realized human-less world where animal friendship and camaraderie are the only way for any creature to see another day. Nominated for both the Best International Feature and Best Animated Feature Oscars and an ACE Eddie Award, Flow announces the arrival of exciting new talents in the world of animation whose emotionally-driven, visually dazzling approach to the art form promises to continue to move it forward.

Join us for a Q&A with editor Jay Rabinowitz, ACE, as he discusses his work on 2000 psychological drama Requiem for a Dream. Darren Aronofsky’s second film, Requiem for a Dream, is a hellish work of drama about a group of individuals whose lives are torn apart by their drug addictions. While drug addiction films are a dime a dozen, what distinguishes Requiem from all of the other films of its kind is its complete commitment to assaulting all of the senses in an effort to bring the audience as close as possible to its characters’ broken minds and lives. Grounded by Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Connolly’s heartbreaking performances, Requiem is also one of the best-edited films of all time, providing a showcase for Jay Rabinowitz’s experimental, shocking work that provides the film with much of its haunting power.

Join us for a Q&A with writer/director Jack Hill, as he discusses his 1974 action film Foxy Brown. After teaming up for the acclaimed Coffy, filmmaker Jack Hill and star Pam Grier reunited for the wildly entertaining Foxy Brown. Proving once again that Pam Grier is a force of nature onscreen, this film about a woman who goes out for revenge against the drug dealers who killed her boyfriend is a subversive feminist statement under the guise of a standard blaxploitation film. A major influence on countless subsequent films including Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown (which also starred Pam Grier), this wonderful original holds up beautifully as a glorious ode to female power.

Join us for a Q&A with director/co-writer Lee Unkrich, ACE, writer Michael Arndt, producer Darla K. Anderson, supervising animator Bobby Podesta, and head of story Jason Katz, as they discuss their 2010 animated film Toy Story 3. Handling life's changes and finding emotional closure are themes that most wouldn't associate with a film about anthropomorphic toys, but that's exactly what Toy Story 3 is. With two previous installments that were instant classics and the curse of second sequels usually being disappointments, this film had a lot going against it. But, the minute Toy Story 3 hit screens, it entered the pantheon of great films due to the obvious care, intelligence, and love poured into its creation. Filled with hilarious one-liners and new characters as well as a real emotional punch and typically strong vocal performances from its talented cast and expertly edited Ken Schretzmann, ACE, Toy Story 3 is another high point from Pixar and is one of three animated features in history to be honored with an Oscar nomination for Best Picture (it won Oscars for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song).

Join us a Q&A with director/executive producer Brian Kirk and editor Luke Dunkley as they discuss their work on the 2024 British spy thriller television series The Day of the Jackal. An unrivaled and highly elusive lone assassin, The Jackal (Eddie Redmayne), makes his living carrying out hits for the highest fee.

Join us a Q&A with VFX Supervisor Richard Edlund, ASC, as he discuss his work on the 1981 action-adventure Raiders of the Lost Ark. A masterclass in filmmaking, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of cinema’s most oft-imitated but never equalled pieces of brilliance. From Lawrence Kasdan’s whip-smart (pun intended) screenplay to Spielberg’s typically confident direction to Richard Edlund and co’s Oscar-winning visual effects to Michael Kahn, ACE's expert editing to John William’s rousing score to Harrison Ford’s career-defining performance, everything about this film is instantly-iconic. While Raiders may be an homage to films and serials of days gone by, it remixes these older works through a new lens with cutting-edge technology and manages to thrill no matter how many times it's viewed.
