Career Achievement Award - Lillian Benson & Richard Chew

In the final episode of 2020, I speak with the director and editor, Lillian Benson. In our conversation, we talk about when she met the Civil Rights icon, Congressman John Lewis at the Academy Awards, the film she edited about his life, Get in the Way:  The Journey of John Lewis, her documentary editing career, and her transition to the narrative world. Lillian’s commitment to integrity in her work and the telling Black stories is rooted in her keen sense of responsibility - a responsibility of truth-telling and of the reclamation buried and denied of histories. Because in all her work, she strives to help all of us remember who we truly are, this episode’s song is Ysaye M Barnwell’s “Wanting Memories.”

Episode 15 - Lillian Benson, A.C.E. - “Wanting Memories”

FXFS2EP3_RISE OF NY DOCUMENTARY_Sam Pollard_Lilllian BensonPLAY PODCAST   For Sam Pollard, Emmy and Peabody award-winning a director, producer, picture editor and frequent collaborator with Spike Lee (     Style Wars, Mo' Better Blues, Girl 6, Bamboozled, Clockers, When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts, Four Little Girls  and August Wilson: The Ground on Which I Stand)         , and for Lillian Benson, recipient of the 2017 Motion Picture Editor's Guild Fellowship and Service Award and Emmy and Peabody award-winning              picture editor (Get In The Way: The Journey of John Lewis and Maya Angelou: And Still I Rise) documentary filmmaking has proven to be the most powerful form of expression artistically, personally and professionally.  Coming up during the civil rights movement of the late 1960’s and 70’s New York they recognized the documentary film form as a medium that amplified their own voices and talents in telling the story of African Americans. Though their paths crossed on several New York- based projects, it was the Peabody and multi-Emmy award winning, Eyes on the Prize Parts 1 and 2, the landmark 14-part documentary series, telling the story of the American civil rights movement from 1952 to 1985 that was the most pivotal experience. In this episode, Pollard and Benson tell their story of rising up through the New York documentary film scene to become two of the most important and influential documentarians of their generation.    Frame By Frame is a podcast series hosted by editor Isabel Sadurni, that introduces you to the most influential, respected and accomplished cinema post-production professionals working in New York today. Through intimate, informal discussions between collaborators about post-production craft, aesthetics, process and technique, we’ll recognize and celebrate the iconic films and people that have made New York film history as well as those contemporaries who continue to make important contributions to the art of filmmaking. In conversations anchored by the film editor, we’ll share the stories that define New York as an essential ongoing capital of the global film industry. Proudly presented by the Post New York Alliance and the New York Motion Picture Editors Guild.  Produced By Isabel Sadurni and Ben Baker.
