Behind every great filmmaker is a great editor, and nowhere is this more evident than in the work of Thelma Schoonmaker. During her 50+ years of experience, Schoonmaker has crafted some of the greatest scenes and sequences in the cinema, setting the timing, rhythm and tempo in a uniquely stylized and highly personal fashion. Through the years she has emerged as an innovative visual artist, celebrated for her work on nearly all of Martin Scorsese’s filmography, beginning with the fledgling filmmaker’s debut WHO’S THE KNOCKING AT MY DOOR (1967) on to RAGING BULL (1980) and every one of Scorsese’ films since. Along the way, she has garnered three Academy Awards for Best Editing, including RAGING BULL, THE AVIATOR (2004) and THE DEPARTED (2006), with five additional nominations, including one for her work on Scorsese’s latest. Join us for a 30-minute discussion with the legendary editor about her career and creative process, moderated by Joi McMillon. Followed by a screening of:
