TONY Lawson, one of Britain's leading film editors, will give a talk - A View from the Cutting Room Floor - on Sunday at the Assembly Rooms in Presteigne.

Tony has worked with some of the greatest directors in recent cinema history, and his break came on the controversial film Straw Dogs where he worked with director Sam Peckinpah. He went on to work with Stanley Kubrick and recent collaborations have been with directors Nicolas Roeg and Neil Jordan.

Using examples from films he has worked on, Tony will talk about the creative process that leads to the final cut.

A View from the Cutting Room Floor at the Assembly Rooms in Presteigne on Sunday, November 23 at 3pm. Tickets available from The Workhouse and Courtyard Antiques in Presteigne.
