Join us for a Q&A with showrunner / executive producer / writer Lauren LeFranc & editors Henk Van Eeghen, ACE, and Meg Reticker, as they discuss their work on The Penguin. A ferocious standalone crime drama set in Gotham, The Penguin is an exhilarating ride that follows the dual stories of two aspiring crime lords: the eponymous villain and Sofia Falcone, brought dazzlingly to life by Colin Farrell and Cristin Milioti, respectively. Told over the course of eight riveting episodes, The Penguin doesn’t have a wasted minute, largely thanks to its trio of editors, Henk Van Eeghen, Meg Reticker, and Andy Weir, delving deeper and deeper into its two lead characters’ increasingly twisted, tortured psyches. And enough credit cannot be given to showrunner Lauren LeFranc who brings this ruthlessly intelligent limited series to vivid life, creating one of the best crime epics to hit screens in years.

The film captures the electrifying moment of The Beatles’ first visit to America. Featuring never-before-seen footage of the band and the legions of young fans who helped fuel their ascendance, the film gives a rare glimpse into when The Beatles became the most influential and beloved band of all time.

On February 7, 1964, The Beatles arrived in New York City to unprecedented excitement and hysteria.

Their thrilling debut performance on The Ed Sullivan Show captivated more than 73 million viewers, the most watched television event of its time.

Join us for a Q&A with editor Joel Skinner & VFX supervisor Jason Smith, as they discuss their work on the fantasy series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. In Season Two of The Rings of Power, Sauron has returned. Cast out by Galadriel, without army or ally, the rising Dark Lord must now rely on his own cunning to rebuild his strength and oversee the creation of the Rings of Power, which will allow him to bind all the peoples of Middle-earth to his sinister will. Building on Season One’s epic scope and ambition, the new season plunges even its most beloved and vulnerable characters into a rising tide of darkness, challenging each to find their place in a world that is increasingly on the brink of calamity. Elves and dwarves, orcs and men, wizards and Harfoots… as friendships are strained and kingdoms begin to fracture, the forces of good will struggle ever more valiantly to hold on to what matters to them most of all… each other.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings books, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.

The first season of The Rings of Power has been an unprecedented success, viewed by more than 100 million people worldwide, with more than 32 billion minutes streamed. The highly anticipated series attracted more than 25 million global viewers on its first day, marking the biggest premiere in the history of Prime Video, and also debuted as the No. 1 show on Nielsen’s overall streaming chart in its opening weekend. The show has driven more Prime sign-ups worldwide during its launch window than any other previous content to date. The season finale also created a global cultural moment, with multiple series-themed hashtags, including #TheRingsofPower and others, trending in 27 countries across Twitter for over 426 cumulative hours throughout the weekend.

Based on ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and Appendices by J.R.R. Tolkien. (Description courtesy of Prime Video)

Join us for a Q&A with actor Ann-Margret as she discusses her work on the 1975 psychedelic musical fantasy Tommy. Based on The Who's classic rock opera of the same name, this phantasmagoria of sights and sounds from British provocateur Ken Russell is a wild, oddly moving ride, filled to the brim with cameos from the likes of Jack Nicholson, Eric Clapton, Tina Turner, and Elton John, along with The Who themselves. The highlight of this film, though, is Ann-Margret's Oscar-nominated performance. She dives into this material like most actors do with Shakespeare, giving a performance of depth, devotion, and gut-wrenching emotion as the titular character’s mother. Also starring frequent Russell collaborator Oliver Reed and Roger Daltrey himself, with editing by Stuart Baird, ACE, Tommy proved that The Who and Ken Russell were a match made in heaven.

Join us for a Q&A with highly lauded film editor, director, writer and sound designer Walter Murch as he reflects on the six decades of cinematic history which he has been a considerable contributor to – and on what makes great films great.

Together with Francis Coppola and George Lucas, Murch abandoned Hollywood in 1969 and moved to San Francisco to create the Zoetrope studio. Their vision was of a new kind of cinema for a new generation of film-goers. Murch's subsequent contributions in film editing rooms and sound-mixing theatres were responsible for ground-breaking technical and creative innovations.

In this book, Murch invites readers on a voyage of discovery through film, with a mixture of personal stories, meditations on his own creative tactics and strategies, and reminiscences from working on The Godfather films, Apocalypse Now, Lucas’ American Graffiti, and Anthony Minghella’s The English Patient and The Talented Mr Ripley.Suddenly Something Clicked is a book that will change the way you watch movies.

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.

Join us for a Q&A with cinematographer Greig Fraser, ACS, ASC as he discusses his work on the epic space opera Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. A total departure from the films that preceded it, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story puts the "wars" in Star Wars. Telling the story of a group of rebels trying to steal the Death Star plans, Rogue One is an intense war film full of dazzling set pieces, a hero to root for (courtesy of Felicity Jones' powerful performance in the lead), and a gritty visual aesthetic, courtesy of the innovative cinematographer Greig Fraser. Harkening back to darker installments like The Empire Strikes Back, Rogue One captures the sense of wonder that made so many generations fall in love with this franchise in the first place.
