Memoir of a Snail Q&A with Writer/Producer/Director Adam Elliot (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 film literacy.
Join us for a Q&A with writer/producer/director Adam Elliot as he discusses his stop-motion animated tragicomedy Memoir of a Snail. Adam Elliot has not made a feature film since 2009’s beguiling Mary and Max. The 15-year wait turned out to be well-worth it, though, as Memoir of a Snail is as personal and moving as its predecessor. Edited by Bill Murphy and brought to life by an outstanding voice cast led by Sarah Snook, this tale of the odd, dysfunctional, and darkly funny life of a woman named Grace is full of endless surprises and a deep well of emotion. Only the second R-rated film ever nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, Memoir of a Snail is an ultimately hopeful, life-affirming story of a woman coming into her own against all odds from one of the most distinctive voices working in animation today.

This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Monday, February 17 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

Encore 1: Monday, February 17 at 11PM ET/8PM PT
Encore 2: Tuesday, February 18 at 3PM ET/12PM PT

Join us for a Q&A with writer/editor/director Gints Zilbalodis & co-writer/producer Matīss Kaža as they discuss their animated fantasy adventure Flow.

Through action, a gorgeous score, and an immersive soundscape, filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis and writer/producer Matīss Kaža create a haunting, gorgeously-realized human-less world where animal friendship and camaraderie are the only way for any creature to see another day.

Requiem for a Dream Q&A with Editor Jay Rabinowitz, 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 film literacy.
Join us for a Q&A with editor Jay Rabinowitz, ACE, as he discusses his work on 2000 psychological drama Requiem for a Dream. Darren Aronofsky’s second film, Requiem for a Dream, is a hellish work of drama about a group of individuals whose lives are torn apart by their drug addictions. While drug addiction films are a dime a dozen, what distinguishes Requiem from all of the other films of its kind is its complete commitment to assaulting all of the senses in an effort to bring the audience as close as possible to its characters’ broken minds and lives. Grounded by Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, and Jennifer Connolly’s heartbreaking performances, Requiem is also one of the best-edited films of all time, providing a showcase for Jay Rabinowitz’s experimental, shocking work that provides the film with much of its haunting power.

This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, February 26 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

Encore 1: Wednesday, February 26 at 11PM ET/8PM PT

Foxy Brown Q&A with Writer and Director Jack Hill (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 film literacy.
Join us for a Q&A with writer/director Jack Hill, as he discusses his 1974 action film Foxy Brown. After teaming up for the acclaimed Coffy, filmmaker Jack Hill and star Pam Grier reunited for the wildly entertaining Foxy Brown. Proving once again that Pam Grier is a force of nature onscreen, this film about a woman who goes out for revenge against the drug dealers who killed her boyfriend is a subversive feminist statement under the guise of a standard blaxploitation film. A major influence on countless subsequent films including Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown (which also starred Pam Grier), this wonderful original holds up beautifully as a glorious ode to female power.

This event will be a Live Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, March 25 at 8PM ET/5PM PT with two encore livestreams to follow on Vimeo.

Encore 1: Tuesday, March 25 at 11PM ET/8PM PT

American Cinema Editors Presents Amour followed by a Q&A with Editor Monika Willi (NY Event)

Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

Icons of French cinema Jean-Louis Trintignant and Emmanuelle Riva play an elderly couple facing final separation by cruel death in Haneke’s tender-yet-hard study of life at the precipice. Cinematographer Darius Khondji offers a litany of locked-down framings, brittle in their composed beauty, each marked by an elegant exactitude and slowly suffocating airlessness, while editor Monika Willi’s smooth, sure-handed cutting lends what otherwise might be a stultifyingly static work a feeling of grim, merciless momentum, sliding imperceptibly towards the Great Beyond. Perhaps Haneke’s ultimate directorial accomplishment—and, incidentally, a eulogy for the youthful dreams of the 1960s European art cinema.

Q&A with editor Monika Willi on Friday, March 28th
