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/editor/producer Howard Berry and writer/subject Walter Murch, ACE, as they discuss their 2024 documentary Her Name Was Moviola. Filmmaker and historian Howard Berry teamed up with legendary film and sound editor Walter Murch, ACE, to create this love letter to the dying art of physical film editing in Her Name Was Moviola. For this film, Berry painstakingly recreated an editing room with a Moviola and transferred Mike Leigh’s Mr. Turner to 35mm in order to recut a scene from it on the machine. Detailed and delightful, this film is catnip for cinephiles who want to take a deep-dive into the art of film editing through the eyes of Murch, one of cinema’s masters.

This event will be a Virtual Screening and a Live Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, January 7 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

Encore 1: Tuesday, January 7 at 11PM ET/8PM PT

Gladiator II Q&A with Writer David Scarpa and Editor Sam Restivo (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 writer David Scarpa and editor Sam Restivo as they discuss their work on the 2024 historical epic film Gladiator II. Triumphantly returning to the arena after nearly 25 years away, Ridley Scott has crafted another epic spectacle with Gladiator II. Working with a screenplay from David Scarpa that successfully fuses history with big cinematic dazzle, Scott’s latest ups the ante and insanity from the first while retaining its heart and soul. An exquisitely-paced extravaganza (largely thanks to master editors Claire Simpson and Sam Restivo) featuring standout performances from a Paul Mescal led powerhouse ensemble featuring Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn, Fred Hechinger, Lior Raz, Derek Jacobi, Connie Nielsen and scenery-devouring acting from Denzel Washington, Gladiator II delivers the goods and then some, making the quarter-century wait more than worth it.

This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, January 8 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

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