ASC Presents: Fredrick Elmes - The Night Of

Director: Steven Zaillian

2016 / 95min / DCP

The ASC East Coast Events Committee and Metrograph join forces to present a screening of the final episode of the Emmy Award-winning HBO 2016 miniseries The Night Of, followed by Q&A panel discussion with cinematographer Frederick Elmes, ASC. Recounting the trial, incarceration, and eventual bittersweet release of a Pakistani American college student (Riz Ahmed) convicted of murder, The Night Of—co-scripted by novelist Richard Price and Steven Zaillian (an Academy Award-winner for his Schindler’s List screenplay)—was greeted with universal critical acclaim for its exquisite craftsmanship, its miraculous maintenance of tightrope tension over the span of eight episodes, and the work of its top-flight ensemble cast, including Ahmed, John Turturro, and Michael K. Williams.
