Description
The 15th Annual Maine International Film Festival will be held July 13-22, 2012 at the Railroad Square Cinema and the Waterville Opera House! MIFF is honored to present the 2012 Mid-Life Achievement Award to legendary American film editor Thelma Schoonmaker. Schoonmaker is best known for editing the films of director Martin Scorsese, with whom she has been working for over 40 years. Schoonmaker has received seven Academy Award nominations for best editing, and has won three times (for Raging Bull, The Aviator, and The Departed). In addition to her editing achievements, Thelma is also a passionate advocate for film preservation and restoration. Married to legendary British film director Michael Powell from 1984 until his death in 1990, Schoonmaker has been dedicated to preserving the films and honoring the legacy of her husband, who directed many classic films, including The Red Shoes (MIFF 2010) and The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, which Schoonmaker will present at this year's festival. It is truly an honor and a pleasure to welcome Thelma to MIFF this summer. Learn more at www.miff.org
