September 5 Q&A with Director Tim Fehlbaum and Editor Hansjörg Weissbrich, BFS (Zoom Event)

Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

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 Tim Fehlbaum and editor Hansjörg Weissbrich, BFS, as they discuss their work on the 2024 historical drama September 5. On September 5, 1972, the calm at the Munich Olympics was broken when terrorists murdered Israeli athletes and took more hostage. Tim Fehlbaum’s tense, taut film, September 5, takes a documentary-like approach to exploring the ABC Sports division’s coverage of the unfolding tragedy. Provocatively and intelligently investigating journalistic ethics and the limits of what can - and should - be shown on live television, September 5 is propelled by Hansjörg Weissbrich’s sharp editing and an ensemble of excellent performances. September 5 couldn’t be more timely and wisely stays away from coming to neat conclusions, making for a stimulating and frequently unnerving viewing experience.

This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Thursday, January 9 at 4PM ET/1PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

Nosferatu Q&A with Cinematographer Jarin Blaschke and Editor Louise Ford, ACE (Zoom Event)

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 cinematographer Jarin Blaschke; editor Louise Ford, ACE; production designer Craig Lathrop, as they discuss their work on the film Nosferatu. A total descent into darkness, Robert Eggers’ reimagining of Nosferatu proves yet again why he is one of the most distinctive and exciting filmmakers working today. For this version, Eggers insists that evil must be looked at straight on, that it’s a part of everyday life, which makes this a provocative, potent, unnerving viewing experience. And, the film is a technical marvel that looks and feels like a demented fairytale, largely thanks to cinematographer Jarin Blashke, production designer Craig Lathrop, and editor Louise Ford, all of whom have worked on every one of Eggers' four features. This Nosferatu is one for the ages: at once reverential to F.W. Murnau’s original and also daring, modern, and a vision all its own.

The Brutalist Q&A with Cinematographer Lol Crawley, BSC & Production Designer Judy Becker (Zoom Event)

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 cinematographer Lol Crawley, BSC and production designer Judy Becker as they discuss their work on the film The Brutalist. While epic in running time and scope, The Brutalist is an intimate film about the cost of creating great art. Many films have been made about this topic, but few have had this one’s attention to detail and realism, largely from Judy Becker’s immersive production design, Lol Crawley’s lush, inventive cinematography and Dávid Jancsó's editing. And then there’s Adrien Brody who leads this film with grace and humanity, finding endless complexity in his troubled architect, László Tóth. The Brutalist is a film that will be studied and remembered for years to come.

Memoir of a Snail Q&A with Writer/Producer/Director Adam Elliot (Zoom Event)

Zoom/Online see event description for link details, CA, United States

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 writer/producer/director Adam Elliot as he discusses his stop-motion animated tragicomedy Memoir of a Snail. Adam Elliot has not made a feature film since 2009’s beguiling Mary and Max. The 15-year wait turned out to be well-worth it, though, as Memoir of a Snail is as personal and moving as its predecessor. Edited by Bill Murphy and brought to life by an outstanding voice cast led by Sarah Snook, this tale of the odd, dysfunctional, and darkly funny life of a woman named Grace is full of endless surprises and a deep well of emotion. Only the second R-rated film ever nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, Memoir of a Snail is an ultimately hopeful, life-affirming story of a woman coming into her own against all odds from one of the most distinctive voices working in animation today.

Requiem for a Dream Q&A with Editor Jay Rabinowitz, ACE (Zoom Event)

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 editor Jay Rabinowitz, ACE, as he discusses his work on 2000 psychological drama Requiem for a Dream. Darren Aronofsky’s second film, Requiem for a Dream, is a hellish work of drama about a group of individuals whose lives are torn apart by their drug addictions. While drug addiction films are a dime a dozen, what distinguishes Requiem from all of the other films of its kind is its complete commitment to assaulting all of the senses in an effort to bring the audience as close as possible to its characters’ broken minds and lives. Grounded by Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Connolly’s heartbreaking performances, Requiem is also one of the best-edited films of all time, providing a showcase for Jay Rabinowitz’s experimental, shocking work that provides the film with much of its haunting power.
