  • American Cinema Editors Presents a Screening of Billy Madison followed by a Discussion Jeffrey Wolf, ACE (NY Event)

    Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

    Our April “American Cinema Editors Presents” is Billy Madison, followed by a conversation with the film's editor, Jeffrey Wolf, ACE on Friday, April 17, 6:30pm at Metrograph, NYC.

    Tamra Davis’ 1995 film Billy Madison, starring Adam Sandler, is, according to writer Ceara Milligan, a masterpiece of absurdity. The movie follows a lovable man-child on a quest for redemption and second chances, fueled by Snack Packs, a possibly imaginary penguin, and questionable academic ambition. The comedy features Bradley Whitford, Darren McGavin, Josh Mostel, and Norm MacDonald in his feature film debut — plus Steve Buscemi, Jim Downey, and Chris Farley in uncredited roles. Sandler earned a Best Comedic Performance nomination at the 1996 MTV Movie Awards for the role.

    After the screening, we'll sit down with the film's editor, Jeffrey Wolf, ACE, for a conversation about cutting comedy and his wide-ranging career. Wolf has collaborated with an extraordinary roster of directors — Arthur Penn, John Waters, John Sayles, Ted Demme, and George C. Wolfe among them — on films including Penn and Teller Get Killed, Cecil B. Demented, The Ref, Beautiful Girls, Life, and Holes.

    For the fourth time in four years, Bobbie O’Steen and Molly O’Steen are returning to Metrograph in NYC to discuss the editing work of the late Sam O’Steen. Our latest ACE Presents at Metrograph is Cool Hand Luke.

    Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American prison drama directed by Stuart Rosenberg, starring Paul Newman in the title role. The cast also features George Kennedy, Strother Martin and Jo Van Fleet. The film is about a nonconformist convict in an early 1950s Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system. Sam O’Steen was the film’s editor.

    Shot during emerging popular opposition to the Vietnam War, the film was widely seen as an anti-establishment classic. The film received four Academy Award nominations, including Best Actor for Newman, with George Kennedy winning for Best Supporting Actor. In 2005, the United States Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, considering it "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” SAVE THE DATE!

  • American Cinema Editors Presents a Screening of My Architect: A Son’s Journey Followed by a Q&A with Editor Sabine Krayenbühl (NY Event)

    Metrograph 7 Ludlow St, New York, NY

    Our February American Cinema Editors (ACE) Presents at Metrograph is My Architect: A Son’s Journey, Nathaniel Kahn’s Oscar-nominated 2003 documentary about his father, the acclaimed American architect Louis Kahn. The film was edited by Sabine Krayenbühl, who will join us for a post-screening Q&A.

    Louis Kahn is considered by many historians to be the most important architect of the second half of the twentieth century. While his artistic legacy was a search for truth and clarity, his personal life was secretive and chaotic. His mysterious death in Penn Station in 1974 left behind three families—one with his wife, and two with women with whom he had long-term affairs. As the child of one of those extramarital relationships, filmmaker Nathaniel Kahn sets out on a journey to reconcile the life and work of this mysterious man he called his father. Along the way, Kahn visits many of his father’s buildings, including the Yale Center for British Art, the Salk Institute, and the Indian Institute of Management in Ahmedabad, and speaks with renowned architects including Philip Johnson, Frank Gehry, I. M. Pei, and Anne Tyng.

The film was shot on super 16mm, mostly using a handheld camera, and is named after the giant squid and sperm whale diorama at the American Museum of Natural History.

    The film, which stars Jeff Daniels, Laura Linney, Jesse Eisenberg and Owen Kline, won awards for best dramatic direction and screenwriting, and was nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Baumbach later was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay. The film received six Independent Spirit Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. Baumbach became one of the few screenwriters to ever sweep the major year end critics’ awards.

    Metrograph, New York City
    We’re welcoming acclaimed editor Mary Stephen after a 35mm screening of Éric Rohmer’s 1981 comedy The Aviator’s Wife.

The film is the first installment in Rohmer's "Comedies & Proverbs" series — a collection of six films the director made during the 1980s. Each of these films begins with a proverb, in the case of The Aviator's Wife this is: "On ne saurait penser à rien" or "It is impossible to think about nothing."
