The Craft of Editing Hit Man and All of Us Strangers | NYFF61 Talk

We were thrilled to welcome American Cinema Editor members Sandra Adair (Hit Man) and Jonathan Alberts (All of Us Strangers) to NYFF61 as part of the Crosscut section of our Talks program to discuss film editing, the art of cutting dialogue, and their long-time collaborations with Richard Linklater and Andrew Haigh in a conversation moderated by Jeffrey Wolf, ACE. 

Across genres, styles, and modes of production, the work of the film editor remains one of the least visible but most essential elements of cinematic storytelling. In this year’s NYFF lineup, Main Slate selection All of Us Strangers and Spotlight selection Hit Man are exemplary showcases for the range of expressive effects made possible by the film editor’s contributions, demonstrating how pacing, rhythm, and punctuation can amplify or obscure meaning, accentuate performances, and synthesize precise interactions between comedy, drama, suspense, and eroticism. This talk was organized in collaboration with American Cinema Editors.

All NYFF61 Talks are sponsored by HBO.
