'The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing'
1st December 2008, 19:00 to 21:00

Narrated by Kathy Bates, this documentary was put together by the American Cinema Editors (ACE) to show the secrets of film editing.

Interviews with the past and current great directors and editors, as well as examples from films of flashbacks, parallel action, slow motion, juxtaporition of images and other tools show us how editors work their magic. Directors such as Steven Speilberg, Quentin Tarantino, James Cameron, and more discuss the importance of editing to the entire filmmaking process and the director/editor relationship.
