Antony Gibbs
Encyclopedia
Antony Gibbs is a British film and television editor with more than 40 feature film credits.
Gibbs' editing career began in the mid 1950s as an assistant to Ralph Kemplen
and to Alan Osbiston, and through them he became involved with the brief "New Wave
" of British filmmaking at its beginnings. In particular Osbiston (and Gibbs) edited The Entertainer
(1960), which was directed by Tony Richardson
; Richardson was one of the most prominent of the British New Wave directors. Gibbs was then principal editor for several of the subsequent "New Wave" films, including Richardson's A Taste of Honey
(1961), The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
(1962), and Tom Jones
(1963), and also The Knack ...and How to Get It (1965), which was directed by Richard Lester
.
In his 1995 book, Film and Video Editing, Roger Crittenden notes the influence of this first phase of Gibbs' editing career, "The generation of American editors of which Dede Allen is a part has given considerable credit for the inspiration of their work to Antony Gibbs, the English editor of films directed by, amongst others, Tony Richardson, Nicholas Roeg, and Richard Lester. There is a daring and energetic quality to Tony Gibbs' work, especially in some sequences of The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner, Tom Jones, The Knack, and Performance, which must have given a shot of adrenaline to aspiring editors on both sides of the Atlantic at the time. Dede ascribes her work on Bonnie and Clyde directly to the influence of Tony Gibbs." Bonnie and Clyde
(1967) "marked a turning point in the editing of feature films that sent reverberations through the entire American cinema."
Gibbs was the "supervising editor" for Richardson's 1965 film, The Loved One
, that was produced in Hollywood. Gibbs relocated from England to California in about 1970. From 1971–1989 he had an extended collaboration with Norman Jewison
that commenced with the well-received Fiddler on the Roof
(1971) and ultimately extended over five films. Gibbs retired from filmmaking in 2001.
Gibbs' editing of Tom Jones (1962) was nominated for an American Cinema Editors Eddie award. Tom Jones won the Academy Award for Best Picture, and Richardson received the Academy Award for Best Director for it. Subsequent to his "New Wave" films, Gibbs was nominated four times for the BAFTA Award for Best Editing
, for the films Performance
(directed by Donald Cammell
& Nicolas Roeg
-1970), Fiddler on the Roof
(Jewison
-1971), Rollerball
(Jewison-1975), and A Bridge Too Far (Attenborough
-1975). Gibbs has never been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Editing. Gibbs was nominated again for ACE Eddie awards for Fiddler on the Roof and, much later in his career, he won Eddie awards for the television films George Wallace (Part II) (1997) and for James Dean (2001). Gibbs has been elected to membership in the American Cinema Editors
