  • The NYU Bronfman Center 7 East 10th Street New York, NY, 10003 United States (map)

Olivier Leif, ACE,  of Blue Table Post invites you to an Editing Masterclass for SABBATH QUEEN.

In celebration of the theatrical release of SABBATH QUEEN, Director Sandi DuBowski (Trembling Before G-d), Writer/Editors Francisco Bello ACE & Jeremy Stulberg ACE, and Editor Kyle Crichton are thrilled to present a free, intimate Masterclass to discuss the creative editing process of crafting a longitudinal documentary two decades in the making. 

“Awe inspiring… Enthralling. Combining crisp vérité recordings, emotional archival footage and confrontational talking head interviews, Sabbath Queen is a rich and intimate portrait… One of the best films I've seen this year.” – The Hollywood Reporter

SABBATH QUEEN, shot over 21 years and edited from nearly 3000 hours of original and archival footage, follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie's epic journey to radically reinvent religion, challenge patriarchy and supremacy, champion interfaith love and stand up for peace in a difficult and rapidly changing 21st century.
