The next "American Cinema Editors Presents" is a screening of the 2023 documentary Stamped from the Beginning. Using innovative animation and expert voices, Oscar-winning director Roger Ross Williams brings Dr. Ibram X. Kendi's New York Times bestseller to the screen. Published in 2016, Dr. Kendi's National Book Award winner chronicles the story of anti-Black racist ideas and their staggering power over the course of American history. Stamped from the Beginning has been shortlisted for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, one of 15 films selected from hundreds of eligible films. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the film's editors John S. Fisher and Francesca Sharper, moderated by David Velasco.
Join us for a Q&A with screenwriter William Wisher, as he discusses his work on 1991 science fiction action film Terminator 2: Judgment Day. The Terminator was a landmark of sci-fi cinema, but like with his previous film, Aliens, filmmaker James Cameron wanted to outdo the original with his sequel. A bigger badder better Terminator film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day ups the ante in every way, taking risk after risk and paying every one off in spades. With Arnold Schwarzenegger as a heroic terminator, Linda Hamilton in full badass mode and editing by Conrad Buff, ACE, Mark Goldblatt, ACE, Richard A. Harris and Dody Dorn, ACE (Special Edition), T2 delivers brains and brawn in equal measure while single-handedly revolutionizing cinematic VFX. Chock-full of brilliant one-liners and given a big heart by Cameron and co-writer William Wisher, T2 stands as one of the great American action epics that has lost none of its power. The event will be a Zoom Webinar on Monday, January 29 at 8PM ET/5PM PT.

Join us for a Q&A with editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis, ACE, as he discusses his Oscar-nominated work on 2023's Poor Things. A wonderfully odd concoction courtesy of Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things is a provocative, delightful tale of a reanimated adult woman, Bella Baxter, with the brain of a baby who begins to explore the world and find herself in a steampunk version of 19th Century England. Working with largely the same team as his previous film, The Favourite, including genius longtime editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis, ACE, Lanthimos has created a tale of female empowerment that crackles with wit from Tony McNamara’s screenplay and a career-best performance from the chameleonic Emma Stone. And enough cannot be said about the work of Mavropsaridis whose sharp, unpredictable style brings out the best in everyone’s work, culminating in one of 2023’s very best films. The event will be a Zoom Webinar on Thursday, February 15 at 4PM ET/1PM PT.
