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/director Paul Schrader & editor Benjamin Rodriguez, Jr., as they discuss 2017 psychological drama First Reformed. Paul Schrader’s late-career opus, First Reformed, found the veteran filmmaker reinvigorated and finally earned him his first Oscar nomination (for his screenplay). A gonzo take on Bergman’s Winter Light, this thought-provoking, complicated, and frequently outrageous film asks huge questions, allows them to marinate, and then dips out, leaving the audience to answer the questions it poses for themselves. Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried, and Cedric the Entertainer give three difficult, intense performances, and Schrader takes huge risks that all add up to hugely satisfying sensation. First Reformed was expertly edited by Benjamin Rodriguez, Jr. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Thursday, April 25 at 8PM ET/5PM PT.

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.

The next "American Cinema Editors Presents" screening is an exciting one – the 2010 Western Meek's Cutoff, which was both directed and edited by Kelly Reichardt.This will be the first time "ACE Presents" has hosted a speaker who was both the director and editor of the film. Kelly edits most of the films she directs. In addition to the Q&A with the director/editor, Meek's Cutoff will be shown in 35mm. This screening, moderated by Julia Bloch, will be part of a retrospective of Kelly's films beginning the first weekend of May and leading up to this screening.
Loosely based on a historical incident on the Oregon Trail in the 1840s, Meek's Cutoffis the story of six settlers and their guide who are caught in a dangerous situation: They are lost, food and water are running out, and the surrounding desert threatens to claim them all. Meanwhile, their guide, Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood), refuses to acknowledge that they may be several weeks off-course. When a Native American (Rod Rondeaux) is captured, Emily Tetherow (Michelle Williams), one of the settlers, shields him from Meek's wrath, and he offers to lead the group to water in return.

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.**
