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 50th Anniversary Q&A with actor Ellen Burstyn as she discusses her work on the 1974 romantic comedy/drama Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore. The incomparable Ellen Burstyn deservingly won the Best Actress Oscar for her tough, empathetic portrayal of single mother and waitress, Alice, who gets caught between her own dreams of independence and a man who begins to steal her heart. Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore is Burstyn’s show. Passionately leading a cast that includes an Oscar-nominated Diane Ladd, Kris Kristofferson, and a young Jodie Foster, Burstyn gives a voice to the everyday working woman of America in this ahead-of-its-time feminist tale that inspired the hit TV series, Alice. Low-key, witty, and moving and edited by Marcia Lucas, the film was Martin Scorsese’s follow-up to Mean Streets which also showed the filmmaker’s versatility early in his career. We’re incredibly excited to welcome Ellen back to Picturehouse 441 after our deep-dive into The Exorcist with her last year. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Wednesday, May 1 at 8PM ET/5PM PT.

The next "American Cinema Editors Presents" screening is an exciting one – the 2010 Western Meek's Cutoff, which was both directed and edited by Kelly Reichardt.This will be the first time "ACE Presents" has hosted a speaker who was both the director and editor of the film. Kelly edits most of the films she directs. In addition to the Q&A with the director/editor, Meek's Cutoff will be shown in 35mm. This screening, moderated by Julia Bloch, will be part of a retrospective of Kelly's films beginning the first weekend of May and leading up to this screening.
Loosely based on a historical incident on the Oregon Trail in the 1840s, Meek's Cutoffis the story of six settlers and their guide who are caught in a dangerous situation: They are lost, food and water are running out, and the surrounding desert threatens to claim them all. Meanwhile, their guide, Stephen Meek (Bruce Greenwood), refuses to acknowledge that they may be several weeks off-course. When a Native American (Rod Rondeaux) is captured, Emily Tetherow (Michelle Williams), one of the settlers, shields him from Meek's wrath, and he offers to lead the group to water in return.
