American Cinema Editors' behind the scenes look at editing, EditFest London, will take place 25 June 2016. The once-a-year, day long event will again be presented in association with the British Film Institute, at BFI Southbank.
EditFest puts top-level film and television editors together to share their insights and experiences with colleagues, post production professionals, students, content creators, production execs, and those who love the art and craft of editing. EditFest affords attendees a rare opportunity to share the experiences of a group of the finest editors in the world as they discuss their work in an intimate theater setting, then mingle with them over lunch and at a post-conference cocktail reception. Discussion, candor, conversation and networking are the order of the day at EditFest, which will also take place in Los Angeles in August 2016.
The schedule for Edit Fest London will be announced shortly. As always, EditFest will feature the editors who have contributed to the most popular television and feature film titles. Past outings have included icons Terry Rawlings, ACE, Anne V. Coates, ACE, Alan Heim, ACE alongside today's editing stars such as Eddie Hamilton, ACE, Tim Porter, and Mary Jo Markey, ACE.
