EditCon

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

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).

The CCE regularly holds panel discussions and screenings to educate regarding new post-production issues, and to promote editing as a primary creative force in television and film. 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.).
