  • Join ACE for a Screening of Total Recall and a Conversation with Editor Frank J. Urioste, ACE (LA Event)

    Featured
    Vidiots 4884 Eagle Rock Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    Get ready for a surprise! The mighty Paul Verhoeven’s adaptation of a Philip K. Dick story is the kind of endlessly entertaining and subversive content that only gets more prescient as the years go by. Construction worker Douglas Quaid (The Governator) has a beautiful wife, a lovely house, but at night he dreams of Mars and an enigmatic brunette. While undergoing a virtual vacation, something goes wrong and throws him into a high-stakes adventure with an entire planet at stake. But is it just the implanted memories, or is it all too real? A thrilling, violent, and mind-bending science-fiction classic with the incomparable talents of Arnold Schwarzenegger and a smorgasbord of brilliantly crafted practical effects, Total Recall is still one of the most entertaining films ever.

  • American Cinema Editors Presents a Screening of My Architect: A Son’s Journey Followed by a Q&A with Editor Sabine Krayenbühl (NY Event)

    Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

    Our February American Cinema Editors (ACE) Presents at Metrograph is My Architect: A Son’s Journey, Nathaniel Kahn’s Oscar-nominated 2003 documentary about his father, the acclaimed American architect Louis Kahn. The film was edited by Sabine Krayenbühl, who will join us for a post-screening Q&A.

    Louis Kahn is considered by many historians to be the most important architect of the second half of the twentieth century. While his artistic legacy was a search for truth and clarity, his personal life was secretive and chaotic. His mysterious death in Penn Station in 1974 left behind three families—one with his wife, and two with women with whom he had long-term affairs. As the child of one of those extramarital relationships, filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn sets out on a journey to reconcile the life and work of this mysterious man he called his father. Along the way, Kahn visits many of his father’s buildings, including the Yale Center for British Art, the Salk Institute, and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, and speaks with renowned architects including Philip Johnson, Frank Gehry, I. M. Pei, and Anne Tyng.
