Artist Rachel Rose discussed visual and sound editing techniques with Oscar-winning editor and sound designer Walter Murch. The conversation, presented in collaboration with MUBI, was followed by a screening of the 1974 film, The Conversation (dir. Francis Ford Coppola), starring Gene Hackman, edited and with sound designed by Murch.
The film follows the life habits of a surveillance expert and the moral dilemma he faces when his recordings reveal a potential murder.
