Join us for a Q&A with director Edward Berger and editor Nick Emerson, as they discuss their 2024 mystery thriller Conclave. Making good on the promise of his multi-Oscar-winning international breakout, All Quiet on the Western Front, director Edward Berger has crafted another richly compelling, exceptionally well-paced (thanks to editor Nick Emerson) film with Conclave. Following a cardinal (an exceptional Ralph Fiennes) as he heads a committee to find a new Pope, this unlikely thriller is chock-full of unpredictable twists and poses provocative questions about the state of the modern-day Catholic Church. The rare new release that perfectly balances juicy plot turns with genuine intelligence, Conclave further elevates Berger into the upper-echelon of exciting filmmakers working today.

Join us for a Q&A with cinematographer Alice Brooks, ASC, and editor Myron Kerstein, ACE, as they discuss their film 2024 musical fantasy film Wicked. A sumptuous, soaring ode to Golden Age Hollywood musicals with a distinctly modern sensibility, Universal Pictures’ Wicked, based on the generation-defining blockbuster stage musical, now arrives onscreen as a spectacular cinematic event. While the film is epic in scale, director Jon M. Chu and cinematographer Alice Brooks imbue it with a handmade quality that makes the film feel intimate, emotional and like a true labor of love. As cut by Oscar-nominated editor Myron Kerstein, ACE, each musical number pops off the screen, and enough praise cannot be heaped upon stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, who provide Wicked with its big, beating heart. The result is a singular cinematic achievement that is both deeply satisfying and dramatically bold.

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.

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.
