The CCE is thrilled to announce the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award for 2021 — Michel Arcand, CCE. For over 40 years, Michel’s work has elevated the craft of picture editing within Canada and beyond. His continued contributions to the editing community as a mentor and fierce advocate for editors have been immeasurable. The CCE will proudly present this honour to Michel virtually at the 11th Annual CCE Awards on June 3rd, 2021.
Michel Arcand’s career as an editor has spanned more than 40 years, earning him a unique place in the Canadian cinema community amongst the artists and professionals whose careers he has watched emerge and mature.
He has even guided—and continues to guide—some of our greatest filmmakers: Léa Pool, Jean-Claude Lauzon, Pierre Falardeau, Robert Ménard, Charles Binamé, Chloé Robichaud, and Sébastien Pilote, to name but a few.
Michel Arcand fait partie de ce groupe de créateurs et d’artisans de haut niveau dont la réputation a traversé les frontières et son talent a été mis à contribution dans des productions internationales d’envergure. Des films comme TOMORROW NEVER DIES : JAMES BOND #18, SUNSHINE ou THE SIXTH DAY ont été vus par des centaines de milliers de spectateurs à travers le monde.
Generous with his time and wealth of experience, he is a founding member of the Comité des Treize, an independent group whose mission is to unite editors of all stripes to promote the field and restore its prestige.
Pigiste depuis toujours, il est soucieux des conditions dans lesquelles lui-même et ses pairs exercent leur métier. Cette volonté d’appuyer autrement sa collectivité l’a mené à siéger au conseil d’administration de l’Académie canadienne du cinéma. Puis de 2006 à aujourd’hui, il siège à un conseil d’administration de l’Association québécoise des techniciens de l’image et du son (AQTIS section locale 514 de IATSE).
Homme de principes, il est attaché aux valeurs collectives et à l’équité entre toutes les fonctions essentielles à la réalisation d’une œuvre. Il milite en faveur d’une organisation forte et unifiante pour les représenter et assurer l’investissement nécessaire dans le perfectionnement professionnel et la formation de la relève.
The CCE is delighted to announce the recipient of the Career Achievement Award for 2021 — Jane Tattersall. This award is presented to a non-editor who has shown great support for Canadian editors and the editorial profession over the course of their career. Jane has been a fixture in the Canadian post-production industry for over 30 years. Her enormous support for Canadian filmmakers, from our most recognized artists to first-time storytellers, has fostered incredible growth of talent across our industry. The CCE will proudly present this honour to Jane virtually at the 11th Annual CCE Awards on June 3rd, 2021.
Jane Tattersall’s career in sound began during a rainstorm. A graduate of Queen’s University (philosophy), her first job in film was as a researcher/writer on a BBC/TVO documentary series. When the picture editor added the rumble of thunder to an otherwise merely beautiful landscape scene, it was love at first sound.
Si vous demandez à Jane ce qui a pu contribuer à son succès des 30 dernières années, elle en attribuera le mérite à la chance d’avoir été mentorée par les meilleur.e.s monteur.euse.s sonores et mixeur.euse.s du monde du cinéma. De grand.e.s réalisateur.trice.s comme Jaco van Dormael, Bill Forsyth, Deepa Mehta, David Cronenberg et Istvan Szabo ont contribué à son éducation.
Jane built relationships with Canadian filmmakers like Clement Virgo, Sarah Polley, Richie Mehta, and Mike McGowan. Jane’s passion for sound excellence and hard work helped this next generation of filmmakers take the stage at the Oscars, at Cannes, in Toronto and at film festivals around the world.
Jane’s work has taken her to studios beyond Canada, including stints in Berlin, Brussels, Budapest, London, LA, Skywalker, and New York. Numerous credits, nominations and awards followed and today Jane counts over 170 credits (film and television), and over 100 nominations and awards. Jane’s recent sound supervising includes THE HANDMAID’S TALE, THE NORTH WATER and 13 MINUTES.
