Timeline

1931

Jim Clark (24 May 1931 – 25 February 2016) was a British film editor and film director.

Clark was born in 1931, and grew up in Boston, Lincolnshire.

1947

He was educated at Oundle School in Northamptonshire and founded the Oundle Film Society in 1947.

1951

Clark moved to London, and in 1951 began work as an assistant editor at Ealing Studios.

Subsequently he worked as a freelance assistant editor on two films directed by Stanley Donen and edited by Jack Harris.

1956

He has more than forty feature film credits between 1956 and 2008.

Clark directed eight features and short films.

1960

When Harris declined the opportunity to work on Donen's subsequent film, Surprise Package (1960), Donen gave Clark the job.

As Clark later wrote, "It was a fairly bad movie and probably would have finished my career before it had started, but luckily Stanley got another film, The Grass Is Greener (1960), which he also asked me to edit. The cutting of the two films overlapped, which was great training for me. Soon after, I was asked to cut The Innocents (1961) starring Deborah Kerr, which has since become a classic story-driven, supernatural horror film. It was very hard to cut, but that film really put me on the map."

1961

They married in 1961 and had three children.

1969

Among his most recognized films are Midnight Cowboy (1969, as creative consultant), Marathon Man (1976), The Killing Fields (1984), and Vera Drake (2004).

1970

As a director he was responsible for Every Home Should Have One (1970), Rentadick (1972) and Madhouse (1974).

Clark lived in Kensington with his wife Laurence Méry-Clark, likewise a film and television editor.

1976

2005

In 2005, Clark received the American Cinema Editors Career Achievement Award.

Responding to a question about the major influences on his editing, Clark said "Looking back over many years, the American cinema of the 40s was very important to me, along with Hitchcock films and early British comedies with actors like Will Hay and George Formby. Music has also played a major role; it influences the rhythm of my editing. The pacing of a film and its dialogue have a lot to do with music, and the act of going from one shot to another has always fascinated me - when and how you do it, the reason for an edit."

2011

In 2011, Clark published Dream Repairman: Adventures in Film Editing, a memoir of his career.

Clark's autobiography Dream Repairman: Adventures in Film Editing was published in 2011, receiving warm reviews from The Guardian and The Observer.
