08/05/2013
ACE launched EditFest in 2008 in Los Angeles, in response to a need to put the industrys top editors in conversation with other editors and post-production professionals.

ACE President, Alan Heim, A.C.E., stated, "ACE is thrilled to put these talented editors in front of and in touch with audiences in London. For the past 5 years, in Los Angeles and New York City, we have seen that there is a thirst among the editing community to meet, connect, and hear from their colleagues. We have had many requests over the years to bring EditFest to London and its exciting to finally make the vision a reality. We are looking forward to engaging with the editing community in the UK."
The agenda for the 29 June event features interactive, face-to-face dialogue, Q&A sessions and includes:

About ACE
AMERICAN CINEMA EDITORS (ACE) is an honorary society of motion picture editors founded in 1950. Film editors are voted into membership on the basis of their professional achievements, their dedication to the education of others and their commitment to the craft of editing.
The objectives and purposes of the AMERICAN CINEMA EDITORS are to advance the art and science of the editing profession; to increase the entertainment value of motion pictures by attaining artistic pre-eminence and scientific achievement in the creative art of editing; to bring into close alliance those editors who desire to advance the prestige and dignity of the editing profession.
ACE produces several annual events including EditFest (a weekend editing festival in the summer), Invisible Art/Visible Artists (annual panel of Oscar(r) nominated editors), and the ACE Eddie Awards, now in its 63rd year, recognizing outstanding editing in ten categories of film, television and documentaries. The organization publishes a quarterly magazine, CinemaEditor, highlighting the art, craft and business of editing and editors.
