**FREE** PH Awards: HER NAME WAS MOVIOLA Virtual Screening &

Filmmaker and historian Howard Berry teamed up with legendary film and sound editor Walter Murch to create this love letter to the dying art of physical film editing in HER NAME WAS MOVIOLA. For this film, Berry painstakingly recreated an editing room with a Moviola and transferred Mike Leigh’s MR. TURNER to 35mm in order to recut a scene from it on the machine. Detailed and delightful, this film is catnip for cinephiles who want to take a deep-dive into the art of film editing through the eyes of Murch, one of cinema’s masters. 

Howard Berry is a filmmaker, film historian, and lecturer specialising in film post-production and the history of Elstree's film studios. Starting work as a VFX editor, Howard moved into education and is the co-founder of the film degrees at the University of Hertfordshire, where he has taught and mentored aspiring filmmakers for nearly two decades. The documentary Her Name Was Moviola, written by and starring Walter Murch, explores the craft of film editing and has been celebrated at festivals including Sheffield DocFest and Telluride. Howard's expertise extends to film heritage, and he is the officially recognised historian of Elstree and Borehamwood's studios and has also worked closely with the Stanley Kubrick estate for the past 15 years.

Walter Murch, ACE, is a sound designer, editor, writer, and director, best known for his work on such films as APOCALYPSE NOW, THE ENGLISH PATIENT, GHOST, THE CONVERSATION, THE GODFATHER Trilogy, AMERICAN GRAFFITI, COLD MOUNTAIN, RETURN TO OZ, and JULIA, among many others.
