On Tuesday, September 26 join us for a Q&A with director Rob Marshall as he discusses his 2002 musical black comedy crime film Chicago. Based on the 1975 stage musical of the same name which in turn originated from the 1926 play of the same name, Chicago was critically acclaimed and went on to win six Academy Awards including an Oscar for Martin Walsh, ACE, for Best Editing. That year Walsh also won the ACE Eddie Award for the same film. This event will be a Zoom webinar on Tuesday, September 26 at 8PM ET/5PM PT.
Join us for a Q&A with cinematographer Janusz Kaminski and the 1993 epic historical drama Schindler's List. Ideas for a film about the Schindlerjuden (Schindler Jews) were proposed as early as 1963. Unsure if he was ready to make a film about the Holocaust, Spielberg tried to pass the project to several directors before deciding to direct it. Often listed among the greatest films ever made, the film received universal acclaim and was also a box office success. It was nominated for 12 Academy Awards and won seven including Best Cinematography for Kaminski and Best Editing for Michael Kahn, ACE. Kahn also won the ACE Eddie Award that year for his work on the film. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Friday, September 29 at 8PM ET/5PM PT.

Moderated by Jeffrey Wolf, ACE. Organized in collaboration with American Cinema Editors.

Join us for a Q&A with screenwriter Liz Hannah as she discusses her work on the political thriller The Post. Shot, cut, and released in a matter of months, The Post crackles with an intense urgency that propels the film forward at a breakneck pace. With a whip-smart screenplay by Liz Hannah and Josh Singer, this riveting film about Katherine Graham and Ben Bradlee's decision about whether or not to publish The Pentagon Papers is one of the great films about journalism, particularly calling to mind All the President's Men. Driven by an immensely satisfying, complex performance from Meryl Streep who is perfectly complemented by Tom Hanks, The Post is a suspenseful true-life drama that creates a disturbing but necessary dialogue between past and present. The event will be a Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, October 10 at 8PM ET/5PM PT.
