Masterclass Joe Walker

Britain’s Joe Walker has set the standard in film editing. It has already earned him an Academy Award—in 2022, for <strongDune</strong—and two further Oscar nominations: in 2014 for <strong12 Years a Slave</strong and in 2017 for <strongArrival</strong. Two master directors are inseparable from his work: with Steve McQueen, Walker cut <strongHunger</strong (2008), <strongShame</strong (2011) and <strong12 Years a Slave</strong, among others. More recently it is above all Canada’s Denis Villeneuve with whom Walker has kept up a long-running collaboration, beginning with the thriller <strongSicario</strong (2015). In this masterclass, Joe Walker offers the SLASH audience an insight into those collaborations, into his working process, and into a career holding remarkable moments of cinema from <strongBrighton Rock</strong through <strongBlade Runner 2049</strong to <strongDune: Part Three</strong.
