The programme for this year’s international conference for editors, EditFest Global, has been announced.
American Cinema Editors (ACE) and its International Relations Committee, along with global editing organisation TEMPO, will bring “expansive international perspectives” to the upcoming EditFest Global.
EditFest events feature world-renowned editors in interactive panel discussions and networking sessions, both in person and online.
EditFest Global goes live online October 4 with the opening session Global Editing Perspectives: A Collaboration with TEMPO and ACE and features a panel of editors from around the world. Eoin McDonagh, ACE (Ireland) will moderate the panel that features Luisa Maria Martinez Arcaraz (Mexico), Nitin Baid (India), Sylvie Landra (France), Simon Njoo (Australia), and Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir, ACE (Iceland).
A full day of panels, breakout sessions, and demonstrations continue. For the first time in its history, ACE is collaborating directly with sound artists and the Cinema Audio Society (CAS) in a special session, In Sync: The Art of Picture and Sound. This panel brings together editors and sound teams to explore how rhythm, emotion, and storytelling are shaped in partnership—”a behind-the-scenes look at the heartbeat of cinema.”
EditFest Global welcomes content creators with millions of followers to the programme for the first time. Tony Zhou and Taylor Ramos, the duo behind the viral channel Every Frame a Painting, will lead sessions on editing essays for online platforms, “underscoring how digital storytelling is redefining the craft and reaching audiences on a massive scale.”
International Committee Co-Chairs Michelle Tesoro, ACE, Avril Beukes, ACE, and Michael Ruscio, ACE noted that, “The ACE International Committee is thrilled to collaborate with our TEMPO colleagues to present Global Editing Perspectives. We are confident that editors across the continents will benefit from this engaging and encompassing discussion.”
A collaborator of ACE and EditFest Global, TEMPO is a global federation of film editing associations representing more than 8,000 film and TV editors in 35 member organizations across six continents.
