American Cinema Editors (ACE) will present the London debut of its popular event, EditFest. After five years in Los Angeles and New York, EditFest London will take place on Saturday, the 29th of June, marking the first time the event has traveled outside of the U.S. An impressive roster of top editors is scheduled to share their experiences with attendees for a full day at the Ray Dolby Screening Room in Soho.
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. By popular demand, EditFestNY was added to its agenda in 2010. Considered the premier editing event of the summer in the U.S., the move to London is part of ACEs efforts to provide programming and activities for a global audience. Designed for professional as well as aspiring editors, post production team members, content creators, production execs, and those who love the art and craft of editing, EditFest is a rare opportunity to hear the most compelling artists talk about their work and interact with them in an intimate theater setting. An impressive array of BAFTA, Oscar(r) and Emmy(r) winners and nominees are scheduled to be part of EditFest London.
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:
Small Screen, Big Picture - Panel with Television Editors
Featuring Frances Parker, A.C.E.* (Game of Thrones), Alexandra Mackie, A.C.E.* (Downton Abbey) and Oral Norrie Ottey, A.C.E.*, (Generation Kill).

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.
