  • Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story Q&A with Editor Peggy Tachdjian, ACE (Zoom Event)

    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 media literacy.
    Join us for a Q&A with editor Peggy Tachdjian, ACE as she discusses her biographical crime drama series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.

    Following the massive success of Dahmer, Ryan Murphy and Ian Brennan’s true-crime anthology series returns with Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, chronicling the case of the real-life brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez.

    While the prosecution argued they were seeking to inherit their family fortune, the brothers claimed - and remain adamant to this day, as they serve life sentences without the possibility of parole - that their actions stemmed out of fear from a lifetime of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse at the hands of their parents.

    Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story dives into the historic case that took the world by storm, paved the way for audiences’ modern-day fascination with true crime, and in return asks those audiences: Who are the real monsters? (Description courtesy of Netflix)

  • Will & Harper Q&A with Editor Monique Zavistovski, ACE & additional Editor Lori Lovoy-Goranas (Zoom Event)

    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 media literacy.
    Join us for a Q&A with editor Monique Zavistovski, ACE & additional editor Lori Lovoy-Goranas they discuss their documentary Will & Harper.

    Three years ago, Will Ferrell was filming a movie when he received a most surprising email: his dear friend of nearly 30 years was coming out to him as a trans woman.

    That friend was Harper Steele, a writer he met on his first day at Saturday Night Live back in 1995. From that fateful first meeting in the halls of 30 Rock, Will knew he had found a match made in comedy, and their friendship and creative partnership would only continue to grow over the next 3 decades.

    In this intimate, honest, and heartfelt documentary, Will and Harper hit the open road together to process this new stage of their friendship and reintroduce Harper to the country that she loves this time, as herself. Over 16 days, the two drive from New York to LA, visiting stops that are meaningful to them, to their friendship, and to America. Through laughter, tears, and many cans of Pringles, they push past their comfort zones as they re-examine their relationships to these spaces, and to each other, in this new light.

  • The Master – Followed by a Conversation with Editor Leslie Jones, ACE (LA Event)

    Featured
    Vidiots 4884 Eagle Rock Blvd, Los Angeles, CA, United States

    The next West Coast "American Cinema Editors Presents" event will be a screening of the 2012 psychological drama The Master followed by a conversation with editor Leslie Jones, ACE, at Los Angeles institution Vidiots.

    Join the cult of PTA with one of his best films, and one of the best performances of the late great Philip Seymour Hoffman. Anderson delves into a loose interpretation of Scientology with a side-helping of John Steinbeck’s life with this unsettling drama. Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) is a troubled, boozy drifter struggling with the trauma of World War II and whatever inner demons ruled his life before that. On a fateful night in 1950, Freddie boards a passing boat and meets Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the charismatic leader of a religious movement called the Cause. Freddie tries hard to adhere to Dodd’s weird teachings and forms a close bond with his mentor, even as other members of Dodd’s inner circle see him as a threat. Often cited as one of the best films of the century, Amy Adams, Joaquin Phoenix and Philips Seymour Hoffman were all nominated for acting Oscars for their roles.

    General Admission Tickets are $13

  • Wet Hot American Summer Screening, followed by a Q&A with Editor Meg Reticker, Moderated by Mollie Goldstein, ACE (NY Event)

    Featured
    Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

    We’re wrapping up our third season of American Cinema Editors presents at Metrograph with a special August film, David Wain’s cult classic Wet Hot American Summer, with a Q&A to follow with the film’s editor Meg Reticker, moderated by Mollie Goldstein, ACE.

    The 2001 comedy features an ensemble cast festuring Janeane Garofalo, David Hyde Pierce, Molly Shannon, Paul Rudd, Christopher Meloni, Amy Poehler, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Ian Black, Bradley Cooper (his film debut) and Michael Showater, who wrote the screenplay with Wain.

    The film takes place during the last full day at a fictional summer camp in 1981, and spoofs the sex comedies aimed at teen audiences of that era.

    Roger Ebert gave the film one star out of four. In contrast, Entertainment Weekly’s Owen Gleiberman awarded the film an “A” and named it one of the ten best films of the year. Actress Kristen Bell stated on NPR on September 2, 2012, that Wet Hot American Summer was her favorite film, having watched it "hundreds of times."
