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.

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.

Join us for a Q&A with editor Peggy Tachdjian, ACE as she discusses her biographical crime drama series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.
Following the massive success of Dahmer, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology series returns with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, chronicling the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez.
While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed - and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole - that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.
Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story dives into the historic case that took the world by storm, paved the way for audiences’ modern-day fascination with true crime, and in return asks those audiences: Who are the real monsters? (Description courtesy of Netflix)

Join us for a Q&A with editor Monique Zavistovski, ACE & additional editor Lori Lovoy-Goranas they discuss their documentary Will & Harper.
Three years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: his dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman.
That friend was Harper Steele, a writer he met on his first day at Saturday Night Live back in 1995. From that fateful first meeting in the halls of 30 Rock, Will knew he had found a match made in comedy, and their friendship and creative partnership would only continue to grow over the next 3 decades.
In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves this time, as herself. Over 16 days, the two drive from New York to LA, visiting stops that are meaningful to them, to their friendship, and to America. Through laughter, tears, and many cans of Pringles, they push past their comfort zones as they re-examine their relationships to these spaces, and to each other, in this new light.
