The 50th San Francisco International Film Festival is presenting the
wonderful documentary MURCH, about Walter Murch, who`s widely
considered the world's greatest film editor. The film screens on
Sunday April 29 at the Castro Theatre, and Walter Murch, as well as
the directors, David Ichioka and Edie Ichioka, will be in attendance.
Murch, or course, worked on "Apocalypse Now," "The Godfather," and
"The Unbearable Lightness of Being," among many others . He has
probably done more to illuminate the art of film editing than anyone,
in several books both by and about him. Strangely enough, there has
been little about him on film, until now. "Murch"is an epic sit-down
with the man-a brilliant condensation of what is surely a long
conversation covering the many topics that interest Murch. It's an
inspiring film for anyone interested in film - or the arts in genera.
