(NEW YORK – APRIL 30, 2010) 92YTribeca presents The Invisible Cut: How Editors Make Movie Magic with author and moderator Bobbie O’Steen in conversation with film editor John Gilroy, A.C.E. on THURSDAY, MAY 13, 2010, 7 PM at 92YTribeca, located at 200 Hudson Street, New York City, with screening of the award-winning film Michael Clayton. O’Steen and Gilroy will run footage and discuss his editing process on the 2007 drama starring George Clooney, Tilda Swinton, Tom Wilkinson and the late Sydney Pollack. This is the third in the series of events from Bobbie O’Steen about the art of film editing, where she conducts in-depth discussion with esteemed film editors and screens their award-winning movies. 92YTribeca box office opens one hour before. Advance tickets ($12) may be purchased at http://www.92YTribeca.org or by calling 212.601.1000.

The Invisible Cut: How Editors Make Movie Magic (Michael Wiese, 2009) is Bobbie O’Steen’s latest book and her second about film editing in which she gets inside the editor’s head and shows how the mysterious art of editing is actually done. The author uses the “out” and “in” frames of the actual cuts from classic scenes from landmark movies like The Graduate, Chinatown, Rear Window, French Connection and Body Heat as well as in-depth interviews to explain how the editor manipulates and seduces the audience to create the invisible cut.

The New York-based author first wrote about film with her late husband, Sam O’Steen, the legendary Oscar nominated film editor in Cut To The Chase: 45 Years of Editing America's Favorite Movies (2002), filled with candid stories from the cutting room and behind the scenes on some of the most influential movies in motion picture history. Sam O’Steen was one of Hollywood's most distinguished film editors who worked with directors Mike Nichols, Roman Polanski and many others during what is now referred to as the “Golden Age.”

For his work on Michael Clayton, John Gilroy was nominated for an A.C.E. Eddie and BAFTA award. Gilroy has worked on numerous films including Duplicity, 
Pride and Glory, Miracle, Narc, and Tumbleweeds. 
After graduating from Dartmouth College, Gilroy came up through the editing ranks in the 1980s, working as an assistant editor on numerous features, including Francis Ford Coppola’s Peggy Sue Got Married and Gardens of Stone.
