SEPTEMBER 22 — NCE MASTERCLASS: YORGOS MAVROPSARIDIS, ACE
On Sunday, September 22, film editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis, ACE is the Guest of Honor during the NCE Annual International Masterclass in co-operation with the Netherlands Film Festival.
The entire masterclass will be in the English language.
Yorgos Mavropsaridis (Greece, 1954) is known as the go-to editor of director Yorgos Lanthimos for whom he edited all his feature films — starting with KINETTA in 2005. Since then, they worked on DOGTOOTH (2009), THE LOBSTER (2015), THE KILLING OF A SACRED DEER (2017), THE FAVOURITE (2018), POOR THINGS (2023) and recently KINDS OF KINDNESS (2024).
Together with Lanthimos, Mavropsaridis developed a unique film language for their films. Using film theories, philosophy and psychology, they set out to use editing, sound and music in a very specific way in order to achieve the most powerful experience for their audience. Mavropsaridis has received multiple nominationsw and awards, including a nomination for an Academy Award and two BAFTA nominations. For his work on The Favourite, he received the ACE Eddie Award.
Based on various clips of his work, including alternative cuts and never before shown footage, Yorgos Mavropsaridis will show us – and tell us more about – his way of thinking and editing.
