Co-presented with the Goethe-Institut Toronto
CCE have invited Oscar-nominated editor Dody Dorn, who has worked with Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Patty Jenkins and others, for an
online conversation on June 14 with Berlin’s Konstantin Bock about his editing of "Capernaum" (which plays on Netflix).
Bock will provide an in-depth look at the editing process behind director Nadine Labacki’s film "Capernaum" (“Chaos”), which won the Prix du Jury at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and was an Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Film. He will take the audience into the unique process behind the film (with mostly non-actors and an improvised script), which was edited chronologically on set in Beirut.
