EIFF welcomes legendary film editor Thelma Schoonmaker for an in-depth, fascinating discussion of her late husband Michael Powell's life and filmmaking. Beginning his career directing low-budget films in the 1930s prior to his acclaimed 1937 film The Edge of the World, Michael Powell is perhaps best known for his creative partnership with Emeric Pressburger. That partnership produced some of the most brilliant British films of the 20th century, including The Life of Death of Colonel Blimp (1943), A Matter of Life and Death (1946), Black Narcissus (1947) and The Red Shoes (1948).
