At fifty years old, the TCSM is one of the most iconic films from the 20th century but little is known about its editor and assistant director, Sallye Richardson. Before the screening, The FOFIF will highlight her contribution to the film and urge the audience to consider its editing while watching.
“Chain Saw was made in editing. It wasn’t a case of a scene in the screenplay being ‘x’ pages long — the scenes were as long as they were supposed to be, it was instinctive.” –Sallye Richardson, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Companion, 2003
