ACE Connect-Support Committee are pleased to present a new program to those
who need a mindful helpful hand, ACE Summer of Support Sundays. This series is
open to all members and editing friends. If you are not an ACE member and are interested in attending one of these events, please email Eliza at the ACE office (eliza@americancinemaeditors.com) for registration details.
The last several years have been incredibly difficult for so many in our industry. All of
the uncertainty around jobs and the future of our craft have created anxiety and
overwhelm, and sometimes it can all feel like too much. Thanks to your generous
donations these Summer of Support Sunday sessions are FREE to all those who
need help to reduce the overwhelm and take back control of their circumstances.
Each Sunday at 4pm PT from June 1st to EditFest Weekend August 24th, we will
be holding a variety of mindfulness sessions both online and in-person. Come try out
different techniques to help cope with the mental stress of these trying times. If you
find that one connects with your sensibilities, you can pursue a further journey with
our mindfulness specialists.

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 media literacy.
Join us for a Q&A with cinematographer Greig Fraser, ACS, ASC as he discusses his work on the epic space opera Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. A total departure from the films that preceded it, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story puts the "wars" in Star Wars. Telling the story of a group of rebels trying to steal the Death Star plans, Rogue One is an intense war film full of dazzling set pieces, a hero to root for (courtesy of Felicity Jones' powerful performance in the lead), and a gritty visual aesthetic, courtesy of the innovative cinematographer Greig Fraser. Harkening back to darker installments like The Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One captures the sense of wonder that made so many generations fall in love with this franchise in the first place.
This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, September 2 at 2:30PM ET/11:30AM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

American Cinema Editors Presents ... A Screening of The Aviator's Wife on 35mm Followed by a Q&A with Editor Mary Stephen
Sunday, October 5, 5:15pm
Metrograph, New York City
We’re welcoming acclaimed editor Mary Stephen after a 35mm screening of Éric Rohmer’s 1981 comedy The Aviator’s Wife. Mary was assistant editor on the film, working with editor Cécile Decugis, the start of a long collaboration with Rohmer as his editor. Su Friedrich will be moderating. She is an avant-garde filmmaker and writer, a pivotal figure in the establishment of Queer Cinema and the creator of the website Edited By, spotlighting the work of 206 female editors who helped revolutionize film editing. (website: https://womenfilmeditors.princeton.edu/)
Like many of Rohmer's films, The Aviator's Wife deals with the ever-evolving love lives of a group of young Parisians. The film is the first installment in Rohmer's "Comedies & Proverbs" series — a collection of six films the director made during the 1980s. Each of these films begins with a proverb, in the case of The Aviator's Wife this is: "On ne saurait penser à rien" or "It is impossible to think about nothing."
