Editor, sound designer and director Walter Murch discusses his career and process after an American Cinematheque screening of Francis Ford Coppola’s THE CONVERSATION.
#WalterMurch is one of the greatest film editors & sound designers in cinema for 50 years. The Godfathers, THX 1138, American Graffiti, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, Ghost, The English Patient, & Return to Oz. Hearing him at @amcinematheque.bsky.social was a masterclass in making art from chaos.
image from https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-4.html: ‘Walter Tandy Murch (1907-1967) was born in Toronto, Ontario. He attended the Ontario College of Art in the mid-1920s, studying under Arthur Lismer, a member of the Group of Seven, a group of Impressionist/Post-Impressionist painters mostly active from 1910 to 1940. Murch moved to New York City in 1927 and studied at the Art Students League of New York In 1941 Betty Parsons held Murch's first one-man exhibition at the Wakefield Gallery, New York City. Murch's style remains difficult to classify, although he has been variously described as a Magic Realist, Surrealist, Romantic Realist or just plain Realist.’
