Cycle: Women at the Editing Table: Editors who defined the classic Hollywood style, FIRST SESSION

To celebrate Women's History Month, we're screening a series of Hollywood classics edited by women.

How many times have we heard that a film is really created on the editing table? How many times do you praise the editing, the transitions and the rhythm of the scenes? However, the figure behind this work does not receive the attention that directors or producers receive, much less movie stars. As a consequence, few people know that there have been a large number of women who have made essential contributions to the art of montage.

The presence of women in the field of editing has existed since cinema itself has existed and continues to this day. Hugely talented women have cut, pasted and shaped many of Hollywood's classic cinematic masterpieces, from westerns to musicals to film noirs to sitcoms. This film series seeks to offer a small sample of this fascinating history.

Before each screening, there will be a brief introduction to place each film in its specific context and delve into the biography of the editor who edited it. Projection in original version (English) with subtitles in Spanish.
