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 50th Anniversary Q&A with actor Ellen Burstyn as she discusses her work on the 1974 romantic comedy/drama Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. The incomparable Ellen Burstyn deservingly won the Best Actress Oscar for her tough, empathetic portrayal of single mother and waitress, Alice, who gets caught between her own dreams of independence and a man who begins to steal her heart. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is Burstyn’s show. Passionately leading a cast that includes an Oscar-nominated Diane Ladd, Kris Kristofferson, and a young Jodie Foster, Burstyn gives a voice to the everyday working woman of America in this ahead-of-its-time feminist tale that inspired the hit TV series, Alice. Low-key, witty, and moving and edited by Marcia Lucas, the film was Martin Scorsese’s follow-up to Mean Streets which also showed the filmmaker’s versatility early in his career. We’re incredibly excited to welcome Ellen back to Picturehouse 441 after our deep-dive into The Exorcist with her last year. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, May 1 at 8PM ET/5PM PT.

Join us for a Q&A with actor Sir Jonathan Pryce, as he discusses his work on the 1985 science-fiction black comedy Brazil. In a career full of wildly imaginative films, Brazil stands tall as Terry Gilliam’s most complete and satisfying vision. Inspired by George Orwell’s 1984 (Brazil was originally titled 1984 1/2 but was changed after Michael Radford’s direct cinematic adaptation of the novel beat Brazil to theaters by a year), this pitch-black dystopian comedy about a bureaucrat (Sir Jonathan Pryce) who dreams of escaping his monotonous life has had a profound influence on decades of subsequent films. Brazil pops with the thrill of invention and is grounded with a profound sense of humanity by Sir Jonathan Pryce in his breakout performance. An oddly timely and prophetic vision of the now-past future (or was it always past?) that's brilliantly cut by Julian Doyle, Brazil has revealed itself to be a warning of forthcoming history that’s both deeply disturbing and insanely entertaining. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, May 21 at 4PM ET/1PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**
