Event Summary:

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 Lisa Fruchtman, as she discusses her work on the epic war film Apocalypse Now. Ending his hot streak in the 1970s with one of the most enigmatic, mesmerizing, and audacious films ever produced, Francis Ford Coppola made his grandest statement with 1979’s Apocalypse Now. A film with a famously troubled production that rivals the finished product for wild drama, this Vietnam War-set descent into madness is a herculean feat of filmmaking, particularly on the part of its four-person team of editors: Lisa Fruchtman; Richard Marks, ACE; Gerald Greenberg, ACE; Walter Murch, ACE. This team cut together well over one million feet of film (230 hours) to form a hallucinatory, haunting vision of the hell of war that, 45 years later, has lost none of its horrifying impact. This event will be a Zoom Webinar on Tuesday, June 25 at 8PM ET/5PM PT. **ACE members, please check your email for free ticket information.**
