News Image
Avid has signed on as a platinum supporter for the America Cinema Editors (ACE) society's EditFest London, taking place at the BFI Southbank on Saturday, 21 June.

The event brings together a line-up of editors to provide established and aspiring film professionals with the opportunity to hear them discuss their work and interact with them in an intimate theater setting.
EditFest was launched by ACE in 2008 in Los Angeles, in response to a need to connect the industry's top editors in conversation with other editors and post-production professionals.
Speaking at this year's event are an array of BAFTA®, Oscar® and Emmy® award-winning and nominated editors including, Mark Sanger, ACE, (Gravity), Ken Schretzmann, ACE (The Lorax, Toy Story 3), Lucia Zucchetti, ACE (The Queen, Closed Circuit). Commencing the day is an in-depth conversation with ACE President and renowned editor of All That Jazz, Network and The Notebook, Alan Heim.
"Avid shares our passion for the role editors' play in bringing entertainment to life and our commitment to nurturing the motion picture community," said Alan Heim. "One of Avid's unique characteristics is that many of its employees are also experienced artists, and so like us, they are obsessive about solving real challenges that actually make a difference in the editing room. We appreciate Avid's ongoing commitment to us, to the community, and to understanding how we want to improve the way we tell stories."
"EditFest London is a fantastic opportunity for professional editors to share their experiences and inspire the next generation of filmmakers in honing and perfecting their craft," noted Jennifer Smith, senior vice president and chief marketing officer (CMO) at Avid. "One of the pillars of the Avid Everywhere vision is to provide a platform for connecting creative professionals. We are proud to continue our support for an organization that is also so deeply committed to fostering connection and collaboration in the editing community."
