  • ACE Presents Rosemary’s Baby Screening Followed by a Discussion with Bobbie and Molly O’Steen (NY Event)

    Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

    ACE Presents … Rosemary’s Baby on Saturday, October 24 at Metrograph. Timing is TBA!

    Roman Polanski’s Rosemary’s Baby, adapted from Ira Levin’s best-selling novel, is a hypnotic psychological thriller about modern-day witches in New York City. At its center is Mia Farrow’s Rosemary, the unwitting victim of their sinister conspiracy. The performances are inspired, particularly Farrow’s star-making turn and Ruth Gordon’s indelible embodiment of Polanski’s macabre humor as Minnie, Rosemary’s sinister neighbor. John Cassavetes is brilliant as Rosemary’s husband, a struggling actor who can hardly believe his sudden good fortune.

    The film was editor Sam O’Steen’s first of several collaborations with Polanski. O’Steen made the most of Rosemary’s fragile psychological state and compelling journey, as well as Polanski’s probing, unsettling camera. As O’Steen said, “He’s the best with the camera of anybody I ever worked with. I drool over the dailies.” The feeling was mutual. Polanski said, “Everything I know about film editing I learned from Sam O’Steen.”

    Please join us for a screening followed by a discussion with film historians Bobbie and Molly O’Steen about this masterful film and the inspiring collaboration between director and editor. SAVE THE DATE!

  • ACE Presents Pumping Iron Screening and Q&A to follow with the Film’s Editor, Geof Bartz, ACE, Moderated by Jeffrey Wolf, ACE (NY Event)

    Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

    Our fifth season of American Cinema Editors (ACE) Presents at Metrograph kicks off with a 16mm screening of George Butler and Robert Fiore's classic documentary Pumping Iron, with a Q&A to follow with the film's editor, Geof Bartz, ACE, moderated by Jeffrey Wolf, ACE.
    Pumping Iron is a 1977 documentary based on the popular book by Charles Gaines and Butler. It introduced the world to Arnold Schwartzenegger, who is seen competing with Lou Ferrigno for the title of Mr. Olympia. An enormous box office success for a documentary (grossing an estimated $50 million on a $400,000 budget), it helped popularize body-building culture and fitness in general - after the film's release there was a marked increase in the number of gyms across the United States. Ferrigno hopes to dethrone Schwartzennegger, who has won the Mr. Olympia title for the past five years. The film was well-received by critics of the time. Gene Siskel of the Chicago Tribune gave the film three-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote, "The film allows us to get to know two bodybuilders very well, and, as a result, Pumping Iron is much more a story of human beings than it is a freak show. I actually ended up caring who won the contest."[ He ranked it #9 in his year-end list of the best films of 1977. Gary Arnold of The Washington Post, observed that "Schwarzenegger is the first personality since Bruce Lee who might become a unique and credible physical star, idolized in particular by kids but enjoyed and admired by a vast cross-section of the public."

    About THE ENGLISH PATIENT: Anthony Minghella wrote and directed this award-winning adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's novel about a doomed and tragic romance set against the backdrop of World War II. In a field hospital in Italy, Hana (Juliette Binoche), a nurse from Canada, is caring for a pilot who was horribly burned in a plane wreck; he has no identification and cannot remember his name, so he's known simply as "the English Patient," thanks to his accent. When the hospital is forced to evacuate, Hana determines en route that the patient shouldn't be moved far due to his fragile condition, so the two are left in a monastery to be picked up later. In time, Hana begins to piece together the patient's story from the shards of his memories.
