The Father

Matt Feury

Editor, Yorgos Lamprinos

The Father editor, Yorgos Lamprinos, considers himself a “blue color” editor who never wants to be pigeonholed for a certain genre or project type.  That being said, his Oscar-nominated work on The Father may result in many offers to work on suspenseful, psychological dramas.  Although The Father was shot almost entirely on a soundstage in London, Yorgos (a native of Greece), edited the film in Paris where he has lived and worked for many years now.

Editing The Father

In our discussion with The Father editor, Yorgos Lamprinos, we talk about:

  • Slightly distorting frames to create unease in the viewer
  • His preferred process for working with directors
  • Using wide shots to convey geography and close-ups to convey emotion
  • The balancing act of misdirecting the audience while keeping them engaged
  • What it was like returning to Greece as an Oscar-nominated editor
