Civil War Q&A with Editor Jake Roberts, ACE

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

Join us on Monday, June 3 for a Q&A with editor Jake Roberts, ACE, as he discusses his work on the 2024 dystopian thriller Civil War. Advertised as an action-packed political thriller, Alex Garland’s latest directorial effort, Civil War, is a far more humane though suitably intense work that stands as a testament to war journalists’ bravery in the face of a new American civil war. As cut by Garland’s longtime editor, Oscar-nominee Jake Roberts, ACE, Civil War is a patiently-paced film spotted with scenes of prolonged tension that are effectively interspersed with still images of the conflict being covered by the film’s characters. Elevated by outstanding work from Kirsten Dunst, Cailee Spaeny, Wagner Moura, and Stephen McKinley Henderson, Civil War marks another distinctive and vital work from Alex Garland who, through Ex Machina, Annihilation, and Men, has established himself as one of the world’s most exciting writer-director double-threats after a remarkable career as a screenwriter. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Monday, June 3 at 8PM ET/5PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**

The Abyss Q&A with Supervising Sound Editor Dody Dorn, ACE; Sound Designer Blake Leyh; Cinematographer Mikael Salomon, ASC

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

Tune in on Wednesday, June 5, to watch a Q&A with supervising sound editor Dody Dorn, ACE; sound designer Blake Leyh; cinematographer Mikael Salomon, ASC as they discuss their work on the special edition of the 1989 science fiction film The Abyss. After two smash hits in a row with The Terminator and Aliens, James Cameron took on The Abyss, a characteristically ambitious underwater thriller that became the first commercial disappointment of his career. A few years after the film's theatrical release, Cameron went back to the deep to both further develop characters and properly realize the film's VFX-filled conclusion. The resulting special edition is a visual and aural groundbreaker with its Oscar-winning special effects, Oscar-nominated cinematography, and Oscar-nominated sound that admirably remains grounded due to its marital drama played out powerfully by Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. Expertly edited by Conrad Buff, ACE, Joel Goodman and Howard E. Smith, ACE, 35 years after its release, this once-maligned film stands tall in the master filmmaker's filmography. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, June 5 at 8PM ET/5PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**
