Canadian Cinema Editors

Canadian Cinema Editors (CCE) is a professional, educational and cultural association of film editors founded in 2007.[1] The bilingual non-profit organization promotes picture editing in television, film and new media. Central goals of the organization include showcasing achievements of Canadian picture editors to the world, bringing together fellow editors and assistant editors together at social events and screenings, and educating its members and the public in the art and science of picture editing.[2]

Membership

edit

The Canadian Cinema Editors offers five types of membership levels: student, associate, regional associate, full, and lifetime. Applications to join as an associate member are open to all post-production professionals including picture editors, assistant editors, post-production supervisors and other film professionals interested in joining. Regional associate members receive a discount based on their place a residence. As of 2022, the regions qualifying for the discount include: Western Canada (Alberta, Saskatchewan & Manitoba); Yukon, Northwest Territories & Nunavut; Quebec; Atlantic Canada (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, Newfoundland & Labrador). Current students enrolled in full time study or in a co-op work experience can apply for a student membership and receive a significant discount. [3] Full membership is offered to associate members who apply and qualify based on criteria such as: the quality of their achievements, their passion to the craft of editing and education of the craft to peers and students. Full Members must be sponsored by at least 2 current Full Members. A jury of peers votes on the application, based on a minimum of 60 hours of edited work and overall quality. Successful applicants may use the designation C.C.E. after their name. A lifetime membership is granted to an individual who has won a CCE lifetime achievement award.[4]

EditCon

edit

EditCon is an annual conference organized by the CCE that celebrates the art of picture editing. The first EditCon was held on February 10, 2018, at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. It was sold out to 150 guests.[15] Editcon has featured notable editor guests such as Michelle Tesoro, ACE, Wendy Hallam Martin, ACE, CCE, Jinmo Yang, ACE, Elísabet Ronaldsdóttir, ACE, Harry Yoon, ACE, and Dylan Tichenor, ACE. Since 2021, EditCon has moved to a hybrid virtual and in-person event. Prerecorded or live panels are presented online with virtual breakout rooms for smaller group discussions. An in-person event is held on the same day in multiple cities. In 2023, in-person events were held in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.[16]

Educational programs and events

edit

The CCE offers workshops in conjunction with Centennial College in Toronto, LaSalle College in Vancouver, and Nova Scotia Community College in Halifax.

Recent workshops include Assistant Editing (with James Lawson or Paul Whitehead), Documentary Editing (with Ricardo Acosta, Michèle Hozer, or Kelly Morris), Drama Editing (with Matthew Hannam or Jeanne Slater), Reality Editing (with Jonathan Dowler), and Animation Editing (with Jamie Ebata and Dan Lee).

Panels have included discussion of the RED camera and how it affects post production, the role of Post Production Supervisor (panelists included Gregor Hutchison, Rachel Sutherland, Adam Roberts, Doug Wilkinson, Julie Lawrence and Gary Mueller), and sound editing. Screenings, followed by questions and answers time with the editor include "Dead Ringers" (editor Ron Sanders, C.C.E.), "Cairo Time" (editor Teresa Hannigan, C.C.E.) and "District 9" (editor Julian Clarke, C.C.E.).
