Festival guests
Terry Rawlings
Renowned British film editor and sound master Terry Rawlings will be a guest at this year's festival. He will open the festival in Prague and personally present some of Alien 3 and Blade Runner. Terry Rawlings (1933), full name Terence John Rawlings, worked on dozens of successful films. Among the most famous is Alien (1979), Chariots of Fire (1981), for which he was nominated for an Academy Award, Blade Runner (1982), Alien3 (1992) and Golden Eye (1995). He has worked with such directors as Ridley Scott, Martin Campbell, Hugh Hudson, David Fincher and Joel Schumacher. Originally a sound master, Ridley Scott recognized his versatility and entrusted him with the editing of his first studio film. Alien became a cult saga and their work together continued on Blade Runner and Legend. When David Fincher accepted to direct the third Alien sequel, he logically recruited Terry Rawlings to his team, and upon completion had nothing but words of praise for him "The best editors are alchemists. They put together pieces that would have been would never work on their own. I was very fortunate on my first film to be able to working with Terry." During his career, he was nominated 5 times for the British and once for an Academy Award. Last year he was awarded the BAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award last year.
