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.

For one night only in December, Metrograph will be a screening the director’s cut of legendary writer-director Elaine May’s 1976 triumph Mikey & Nicky, starring John Cassavetes, Peter Falk and Ned Beatty, followed by a rare in person appearance by Elaine May for a discussion with her frequent editorial and production consultant Phillip Schopper, ACE, and assistant editor on the film Jeffrey Wolf, ACE.
The editing of Mikey & Nicky is a story worthy of its own film. The years of editing, the constant struggles with the studio, the alleged stolen reels of film, the extraordinary amount of footage shot and finally buying the film back to make the definitive cut of a film that has come to be known as a classic.
This evening is sure to sell out fast so watch for tickets on sale announcement.

Join us for a Q&A with director Edward Berger and editor Nick Emerson, as they discuss their 2024 mystery thriller Conclave. Making good on the promise of his multi-Oscar-winning international breakout, All Quiet on the Western Front, director Edward Berger has crafted another richly compelling, exceptionally well-paced (thanks to editor Nick Emerson) film with Conclave. Following a cardinal (an exceptional Ralph Fiennes) as he heads a committee to find a new Pope, this unlikely thriller is chock-full of unpredictable twists and poses provocative questions about the state of the modern-day Catholic Church. The rare new release that perfectly balances juicy plot turns with genuine intelligence, Conclave further elevates Berger into the upper-echelon of exciting filmmakers working today.

Join us for a Q&A with cinematographer Alice Brooks, ASC, and editor Myron Kerstein, ACE, as they discuss their film 2024 musical fantasy film Wicked. A sumptuous, soaring ode to Golden Age Hollywood musicals with a distinctly modern sensibility, Universal Pictures’ Wicked, based on the generation-defining blockbuster stage musical, now arrives onscreen as a spectacular cinematic event. While the film is epic in scale, director Jon M. Chu and cinematographer Alice Brooks imbue it with a handmade quality that makes the film feel intimate, emotional and like a true labor of love. As cut by Oscar-nominated editor Myron Kerstein, ACE, each musical number pops off the screen, and enough praise cannot be heaped upon stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, who provide Wicked with its big, beating heart. The result is a singular cinematic achievement that is both deeply satisfying and dramatically bold.
