What does a film editor actually do and what makes for good film editing? We asked Nymphomaniac Vol I & II editor and Academy member Molly Stensgaard

How do films make you feel? The Independent gets personal about cinema and TV with actors, directors, cinematographers and other people from the continually evolving world of "content" in a new fortnightly podcast hosted by Culture Editor Christopher Hooton.

Film editing is a huge chunk of work, but the film editor's hustle often goes unrecognised. In episode 13, Chris chats to frequent Lars von Trier collaborator, Nymphomaniac Vol. I and II editor and Academy member Molly Stensgaard about her process, and how good film editing is about the opposite of putting a personal stamp on things and, in a way, being invisible.
