For one night only, The Ice Storm editor Tim Squyres joins Metrograph, in conversation with Kyle Turner.

Rick Moody’s novel of the same name, about two upper-crust families in New Canaan, Connecticut, negotiating suburban ennui, early winter weather, and the social upheavals of the 1970s, is brought to the screen with subtlety and acerbic humor by Lee and a once-in-a-lifetime cast that includes Kevin Kline, Joan Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Christina Ricci, Tobey Maguire, and Elijah Wood. Winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes, where James Schamus’s literate, artful screenplay was also rewarded.

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.
