Over two very special nights, filmmaker Kelly Reichardt and editor Sam Pollard join Metrograph to each discuss in-depth their work as editor on one unforgettable film: Reichardt’s 2010 Western Meeks Cutoff and Spike Lee’s 1997 documentary 4 Little Girls.

American Cinema Editors (ACE) is dedicated not only to advancing the art and science of the film editing profession, but also to helping the public understand the role of the editor and the impact their contributions have on a motion picture. With this series, ACE pairs a great film and a moderated conversation with that film’s editor, providing a glimpse into one of cinema’s most vital but least understood artistic practices.
