Behind-the-Scenes with Legendary Film Editor WALTER MURCH at Palo Alto International Film Festival
Palo Alto, CA – The Palo Alto International Film Festival (PAIFF) has announced today that it will host “Behind the Scenes with Walter Murch,” and presented by FileMaker, Inc., on Saturday, October 1, 2011 at 12 (noon) at Talenthouse in Palo Alto. The three-time Oscar®-winning film editor will present a behind-the-scenes look at his post-production process.
Murch will be describing the integration of FileMaker Pro database management into his post-production process for numerous films, including “Jarhead,” “Apocalypse Now,” and “The Talented Mr. Ripley.” These techniques (read more at http://www.filemaker.com/solutions/customers/stories/291.html) were used during the editing of “Hemingway & Gellhorn,” directed by Phil Kaufman, scheduled to premiere on HBO in early 2012.
“What you’re presented with in film is simply a mountain of stuff that comes at you very, very fast,” Murch explains. “And as time goes on, it comes faster and faster, because it’s getting easier and easier to shoot film — in fact, we’re not even talking about film anymore, with the transition already underway to shooting in digital media.”
Murch has received nine Academy Award® nominations, most recently for the Film Editing on “Cold Mountain” (2003). He won Oscars for Sound on “Apocalypse Now” (1979) and “The English Patient” (1996), as well as for the Film Editing on “The English Patient.”
FileMaker and Talenthouse are cardinal sponsors of the 2011 festival.
