The Chlotrudis Society for Independent Film is pleased to announce that Gabriel Rhodes, editor of last year’s acclaimed documentary, TIME will be in attendance as a Special Guest at the film group’s virtual ceremony on Sunday March 20th.
TIME nominated for two Chlotrudis Awards last year, one for Rhodes and his editing work, and the other for Best Documentary, the category for which it won! The film tells the story of Fox Rich, indomitable matriarch and modern-day abolitionist, who strives to keep her family together while fighting for the release of her incarcerated husband. A powerful broadside against the flaws of the American justice system, and unconventional love story, filmed over two decades.
Gabriel Rhodes’ feature documentary credits include the Oscar-nominated Time, The First Wave (2022 Oscar Shortlist), Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. (2018 Special Jury Prize Sundance), Newtown, The Witness, 1971, and The Tillman Story (2010 Oscar Shortlist). His work has premiered at Sundance, Cannes, NY Film Festival, Tribeca and many other festivals. He received his Master’s degree in documentary film from Stanford University in 2000.
TIME was beloved by critics, calling it a dazzling, prismatic meditation on the nature of time itself. IndiWIRE chose Rhodes, and the film’s director, Garrett Bradley as Influencers, declaring:
““TIME is the best edited film of the year. That rare film that builds a formal lyricism perfectly in sync with story that washes over you like a wave. A social justice documentary able to weave in archival footage that opens the door to emotional nuance, rather than attempting to simply explain the complexity of the larger issue at hand.”
Mr. Rhodes will appear in conversation with another past Chlotrudis special guest and award winner, Canadian director, editor and author Wiebke von Carolsfeld. Her films MARION BRIDGE and THE SAVER won her Trudies for BURIED TREASURE and ADAPTED SCREENPLAY, respectively.
We look forward to an engaging discussion between two talented filmmakers, sure to be a highlight to the night’s festivities. In addition to announcing winning films across 16 categories, the ceremony will include clips from all Buried Treasure nominees.
