The Q&Agency and American Cinema Editors are proud to announce a free virtual screening and Q&A on "The Singers" (2025, 18 mins).
About "The Singers": "The Singers" is a short film adaptation of a 19th-century short story written by Ivan Turgenev, in which a lowly pub full of downtrodden patrons connect unexpectedly through an impromptu sing-off.
With a cast comprised of viral video singing talents and other one-of-a-kind personalities from the unlikeliest corners of the internet, the film is a love letter to underdogs and a testament to the power of vulnerability through art. (Synopsis by Netflix)

American Cinema Editors Presents ... A Screening of Cool Hand Luke Followed by a Discussion with Bobbie & Molly O'Steen
Saturday, March 28, 7:30pm
Metrograph, NYC.
For the fourth time in four years, Bobbie O’Steen and Molly O’Steen are returning to Metrograph in NYC to discuss the editing work of the late Sam O’Steen. Our latest ACE Presents at Metrograph is Cool Hand Luke.
Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American prison drama directed by Stuart Rosenberg, starring Paul Newman in the title role. The cast also features George Kennedy, Strother Martin and Jo Van Fleet. The film is about a nonconformist convict in an early 1950s Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system. Sam O’Steen was the film’s editor.
Shot during emerging popular opposition to the Vietnam War, the film was widely seen as an anti-establishment classic. The film received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor for Newman, with George Kennedy winning for Best Supporting Actor. In 2005, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, considering it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” SAVE THE DATE! Tickets will be on sale soon.
