Usually after watching a movie, we do not remember single shots but rather whole scenes or sequences. Rarely do we realise how big a role the editor plays in the creation of a cinematic work. It is due to him that hundreds of hours of footage captured by the cinematographer are transformed into a two-hour movie that we see on the silver screen. <\/p>\n

It is our pleasure to announce that Plus Camerimage 2008<\/strong> introduces the Special Award to the Editor with Unique Visual Sensitivity<\/strong> which will go to Pietro Scalia<\/strong>, one of the world’s best known and most-awarded film editors, an integral collaborator of Ridley Scott<\/strong> and a two-time Oscar winner. <\/p>\n The Sicily-born editor was not sure about his future profession. Initially, Scalia<\/strong> wanted to pursue a career in directing. However, after his arrival to the United States (where he graduated from the UCLA Film School) it quickly transpired that editing was his destiny. He began his career in 1987 as an assistant editor for Andrei Konchalovsky<\/strong> on Shy People<\/em><\/span>. Four years later he won his first Academy Award together with Joe<\/strong> Hutshing for editing Oliver Stone’s<\/strong>JFK<\/em><\/span>. <\/p>\n Russel Crowe, Amarican Gangster<\/em><\/p>\n Scalia<\/strong> took home his second Oscar in 2001, receiving it for Black Hawk Dawn<\/em><\/span>. In the meantime, he earned Academy Award nominations for Gus Van Sant’s<\/strong>Good Will Hunting<\/em><\/span> (1997) and Ridley Scott’s Gladiator<\/em><\/span> (2000). He went on to garner two BAFTA Awards (JFK<\/em><\/span> and Gladiator<\/em><\/span>) as well as three A.C.E. Eddie Awards (JFK<\/em><\/span>, Gladiator<\/em><\/span>, Black Hawk Dawn<\/em><\/span>). <\/p>\n His films, being the fruit of a collaboration with directors such as Ridley Scott<\/strong>, Oliver Stone<\/strong>, Bernardo Bertolucci<\/strong> and Gus Van Sant<\/strong>, conclusively prove that apart from being an excellent craftsman, Scalia<\/strong> is a praise-worthy artist who brings to us the magic of the cinema experience. <\/p>\n Russel Crowe, Leonardo Di Caprio Selected filmography: <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Usually after watching a movie, we do not remember single shots but rather whole scenes or sequences.
