The West Coast "American Cinema Editors Presents" event will be a screening of the 1993 drama The Joy Luck Club followed by a conversation with editor Maysie Hoy, ACE, at Los Angeles institution Vidiots.

In San Francisco, a group of aging Chinese women (Kiều Chinh, Tsai Chin, France Nuyen, Lisa Lu) meet regularly to trade familial stories while playing Mahjong. In a series of sixteen vignettes that span generations and continents, this adaptation of Amy Tan’s bestselling novel explores cultural conflict and the often-turbulent relationships between four first-generation Chinese-American women (Ming-Na Wen, Tamlyn Tomita, Lauren Tom, Rosalind Chao) and their mothers.

The inaugural West Coast "American Cinema Editors Presents" event will be a screening of the 1983 comedy/drama The Big Chill followed by a conversation with editor Carol Littleton, ACE, at Los Angeles institution Vidiots.

The ultimate '80s hangout movie, with a killer soundtrack and remarkable performances, Lawrence Kasdan’s The Big Chill still serves all the laughs and all the feels. Seven old college friends gather at the funeral of an old colleague and reflect on their iconoclastic youth, even as they have very much settled into the establishment. With razor-sharp dialogue and tunes from Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Aretha Franklin, and The Rolling Stones, you’ll want to chill with this classic all night long.
