‼️ Tickets Now on Sale ‼️ Link in Bio ‼️ Not technically Adam Sandler’s debut as a leading man—that would, of course, be 1989’s Going Overboard—but the film in which the Sandman’s manchild screen persona emerged fully formed, Davis’s nonpareil masterpiece follows beer-swilling layabout scion of obscene wealth Billy Madison (Sandler) as he endeavors to prove himself capable of running the Madison Hotel chain by graduating grades 1 through 12 in a marathon sprint. Joining us for the screening will be editor Jeffrey Wolf, ACE, whose deft handling of the academic decathlon sequence would, in a just world, be as closely studied as Battleship Potemkin’s “Odessa Steps.” Join us at the lobby bar afterwards for drinks and community-building! We hope to see you there!

‼️ Tickets on sale now ‼️ Link 🔗 in bio ‼️ For the fourth time in four years, Bobbie O’Steen (@bobbieloveseditors ) and Molly O’Steen (@osteenwiththemosteen ) are returning to Metrograph in NYC to discuss the editing work of the late Sam O’Steen. Our latest @acepresents_ @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. Bobbie O’Steen is a New York-based writer and film historian, dedicated to sharing the editor’s invisible art. She is an Emmy®-nominated editor and the author of three acclaimed books. Cut to the Chase is based on interviews with her late husband and colleague, Sam O’Steen, filled with stories from the cutting room and behind the scenes on such landmark films as The Graduate and Chinatown. Sam’s daughter Molly O’Steen is an accomplished New York City-based film and theater historian and educator who brings an entrepreneurial approach to the arts. She specializes in event curation and moderation, providing insightful historical context for films at venues like The Metrograph, in collaboration with the ACE. Molly serves on the Uptown Film Center's Leadership Committee as a Film Education Consultant, developing and implementing film education curricula. She has also written for CinemaEditor Magazine. As usual, we’ll be gathering after the screening in the Metrograph lobby for further conversation and community building. We hope to see you!

“A Citizen Kane-like meditation on whether anyone is truly knowable… [Kahn] shows off his dad’s buildings’ epic grandeur as well as their spiritual intimacy.” —New York Magazine⁠ ⁠ Estonian-born American architect Louis Kahn, whose life’s work includes a disproportionate number of masterpieces (Yale University Art Gallery, the Kimbell Art Museum, the First Unitarian Church in Rochester), is the subject of this penetrating Academy Award-nominated documentary by his son, edited with aplomb by Sabine Krayenbühl, later to become an accomplished nonfiction filmmaker in her own right. ⁠ ⁠ @acefilmeditors present a screening of MY ARCHITECT on Friday, February 6th at 7:30pm, followed by a Q&A with editor Sabine Krayenbühl moderated by film educator Joshua Handler.
