European Editor
Talented and experienced, this year’s EFA editing nominees balance complex stories with cutting-edge storytelling
TARIQ ANWAR THE KING’S SPEECH The deft cutting of Delhi-born British editor Tariq Anwar focuses Tom Hooper’s multifac- eted historical drama in which King George VI (Colin Firth) takes the throne while battling a
speech impediment and forming an unlikely friendship with his Australian voice coach Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush). Anwar started his career at the BBC, where he
spent 18 years cutting a diverse range of pro- grammes from news to music and arts to history. He moved into features with projects such as Stephen Hopkins’ Under Suspicion and Nicholas Hytner’s The Madness Of King George. In 2000 he garnered an Oscar nomination for Sam Mendes’ American Beauty, as well as winning the BAFTA for best editing and an ACE award nomination. Further credits include Law Abiding Citizen, Mendes’ Revolutionary Road, Robert De Niro’s The Good Shepherd and Sylvia. He was nominated for an Oscar and a BAFTA for The King’s Speech.
MATHILDE BONNEFOY Three (Drei)
Mathilde Bonnefoy made her debut as an editor on Tom Tykwer’s Run Lola Run in 1998. Her kinetic cutting on that film earned her a German Film Award and a nomination for an
ACE award. She has been a frequent collaborator with Tykwer since, on films such as The Interna- tional and Heaven. She re-teamed with the direc- tor on Three, his first German-language film since The Princess & The Warrior in 2000. A Berlin-set story of a heterosexual couple
(played by Sophie Rois and Sebastian Schipper) who, unbeknown to each other, both begin to see the same other man, Three is stylishly shot with an inventive use of split screen in certain mon- tage passages. Bonnefoy won the best editing prize at the German Film Awards — known as the Lolas — earlier this year. Three picked up two other Lolas, for best director and best actress.
MOLLY MALENE STENSGAARD MELANCHOLIA Denmark’s Molly Malene Stens- gaard has cut almost all of Lars von Trier’s projects, from the director’s 1994 television series The Kingdom onwards, including The Idiots, Dancer In The Dark,
Dogville, Manderlay and The Boss Of It All. Their latest collaboration, Melancholia, tells the story of two sisters facing the end of the world. Encouraged to be experimental by von Trier,
Stensgaard won a Danish Robert award for Dancer In The Dark in 2000, and was nominated for Annette K. Olesen’s 2003 drama In Your Hands and for Dogville in 2004. A graduate in film editing from the prestigious Danish Film School, Stensgaard has also been commissioning editor for feature film at the Danish Film Institute between 2006-2010, and is a lecturer at the Bin- ger Filmlab in Amsterdam.
