JOUR 1 : Tables rondes et conférences

MOT DE BIENVENUE

Travailler de la maison : est-ce que la COVID-19 a durablement changé notre dynamique de collaboration ou est-ce que nous attendons impatiemment le retour au bureau? Stephen Philipson, CCE, et D. Gillian Truster, CCE, ouvrent le bal en échangeant des anecdotes sur la façon dont on a dû encaisser les coups au cours de cette dernière année. Ils se demanderont aussi si le métier de monteur.euse connaîtra des changements à long terme une fois la pandémie terminée.

Stephen is an award-winning editor of TV series such as ALTERED CARBON (Netflix), AMERICAN GODS (Starz), ANNE WITH AN E (CBC/ Netflix), and HANNIBAL (NBC), and films such as THE WILD HUNT (by Alexandre Franchi), GROWN UP MOVIE STAR (by Adriana Maggs) and documentary PROM NIGHT IN MISSISSIPPI (starring Morgan Freeman), which premiered at Sundance, broadcast on HBO, and screened at The White House. Stephen is honoured to serve as CCE President and help the CCE advocate for editors across Canada.

Originaire de Toronto, Gillian a débuté dans le métier en tant qu’assistante-monteuse. Elle a depuis grandement diversifié sa carrière en devenant monteuse sur des séries dramatiques, des longs métrages et des téléfilms de tous les genres et elle a eu la chance de travailler avec des producteur.trice.s, des réalisateur.trice.s et scénaristes reconnu.e.s et célébré.es. Gillian est notamment connue pour son travail sur ORPHAN BLACK, ANNE WITH AN E et THE EXPANSE. Elle a remporté deux prix Écrans canadiens, un prix de la GCR et reçu onze nominations.

Il faut persévérer, toujours se mettre au défi.

Table ronde: La télévision nous a sauvés - le passage au visionnement à la maison

Pour des spectateurs confus devant l’actualité mondiale, les histoires et les personnages sont plus cruciaux que jamais. Le monde du divertissement se transforme pour pouvoir combler des besoins sans précédent en matière de contenu captivant livré sur demande à un auditoire confiné. Comment cela changera-t-il les histoires que nous racontons et la façon dont nous les racontons? Des monteur.euse.s de séries complètement addictives nous parleront de la réception de leurs émissions en cette période particulière, de ce que ces histoires ont apporté à leurs auditoires et comment leur travail a été affecté par la pandémie.

Christopher Donaldson’s work as an editor spans an extensive variety of dramatic and documentary features and television. His credits include THE HANDMAID’S TALE for Hulu, AMERICAN GODS for Starz, PENNY DREADFUL for Showtime/SkyAtlantic, Atom Egoyan’s REMEMBER, Sarah Polley’s TAKE THIS WALTZ, THE KIDS IN THE HALL: DEATH COMES TO TOWN for CBC, and SLINGS & ARROWS for TMN/Showcase/Sundance Channel.

Amy started as an Assistant Editor on films like MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO, CORRINA, CORRINA, and TO DIE FOR. She edited 20 features, including HIGH ART, LAUREL CANYON, ELEGY and Gus Van Sant’s remake of PSYCHO, and TV series such as DEXTER, THE KILLING, VIDA and most recently, HUNTERS. She is currently editing the limited series MARE OF EASTTOWN, starring Kate Winslet, for HBO. Amy graduated from the University of Arizona with a BFA in Fine Arts Studies.

Multiple award-winning editor Wendy Hallam Martin is best known for her work on the Emmy and Golden Globe winning series, THE HANDMAID’S TALE. Wendy has received two Emmy nominations and won her first Emmy for the second season premier entitled “June”. She also won an ACE/Eddie award for the pilot, “Offred”. Her other work includes the critically acclaimed cable series AMERICAN GODS, MGM’s spy thriller CONDOR which she edited and co-produced, Showtime’s THE TUDORS, THE BORGIAS and QUEER AS FOLK, to name a few.

Born in Dublin, Ireland, Stephen has been editing drama & documentary across Europe for 25 years. His work spans time with U2 on music promos and documentaries in the 1990’s to television dramas for BBC, RAI, Amazon, Netflix, Starz, CBC, HULU, SKY amongst others. Projects include THE NAME OF THE ROSE, HOWARD’S END and NORMAL PEOPLE, to feature films VIVA, THE MAN WHO INVENTED CHRISTMAS, and MAUDIE for which he won the CSA award for best editing in 2018.

Laura Zempel grew up in Sacramento, CA and received a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University. She began her career in Film and TV as an assistant editor on DEXTER, and has gone on to edit HBO’s ROOM 104, EUPHORIA, and most recently AMC’s DISPATCHES FROM ELSEWHERE.

SALLES DE DISCUSSION

Adobe fera la présentation d’un démo interactif de Productions Premiere Pro pour les monteur.euse.s qui travaillent de façon indépendante, qui collaborent avec une équipe ou qui ont besoin de travailler à distance. Entièrement conçu avec la collaboration de grand.e.s réalisateur.trice.s et d’équipes de montage d’Hollywood, cette suite offre de nouveaux outils pour la gestion de projets, pour la répartition des tâches et pour une organisation optimale. Des versions antérieures de cette technologie ont été testées sur le terrain avec des productions comme MANK, TERMINATOR : SOMBRE DESTIN et DOLEMITE IS MY NAME.

Tucked away in a cabin in the woods, Geoffrey Boulangé and Sophie Deraspe set about editing the award winning film, ANTIGONE. In this session Geoffrey Boulangé discusses the processes that went into editing the film; including cutting while shooting; working in FCPX, and co-editing with director Sophie Deraspe.

Les nouveaux flux de travail représentaient déjà un défi, mais comment arrivons-nous à surmonter les difficultés mentales et physiques que présente le télétravail pendant une pandémie? Joignez-vous à cette table ronde de plusieurs membres de l’IATSE 891 pour discuter de ce que vous mettez en place pour rester motivé.e.s, pour prendre soin de votre santé mentale et physique (par exemple, ce que vous faites quand vous vous sentez déprimé.e.s) et pour communiquer avec votre équipe et garder les canaux ouverts. Nous parlerons aussi des changements dans la relation monteur.euse/assistant.e, des défis reliés aux horaires et à la gestion du temps de travail. Au cours des deux jours de l’EditCon, divers membres de l’IATSE 891, tant des monteur.euse.s que des assistant.e.s-monteur.euse.s se joindront à la discussion : Daria Ellerman, CCE, Gordon Rempel, CCE, Rehan Khokar et Lianne Oelke.

Les compétences requises pour être assistant.e-monteur.euse en animation sont différentes de celles d’un tournage conventionnel. Il n’y a pas de rushes à traiter et synchroniser, il faut plutôt bâtir des émissions, mettre à jour des épisodes et fournir du matériel utile et de l’inspiration aux artistes. La monteuse d’animation Merissa Tse puise dans son savoir et son expérience pour nous faire le portrait d’un.e bon.ne assistant.e-monteur.euse dans le domaine de l’animation.

La supervision de postproduction est souvent un mystère pour plusieurs. Qui fait ce travail, quel est-il et en a-t-on besoin sur chaque production? Venez entendre Nahid Islam dans cette discussion intime sur les coulisses de la postproduction; elle répondra à vos questions sur les secrets du métier.

Cette table ronde, animée par le monteur et monteur son Roderick Deogrades, se penchera sur l’importance du mentorat et sur la relation entre monteur.euse.s et assistant.e.s. Cette discussion interactive touchera divers sujets comme l’importance (de bien se former) de la formation, de donner au suivant et de se bâtir un réseau, de même que les avantages du mentorat tant pour l’assistant.e que pour le ou la monteur.euse.

Il s'agit de raconter une histoire, ce n'est pas une question de technique. Je veux créer un environnement propice et offrir aux assistant.e.s la chance de monter.

JOUR 2 : Tables rondes et conférences

Conférences d'ouverture: en discussion avec Jinmo Yang, ACE

Action, comedy, drama, romance, horror and thriller – Jinmo Yang, ACE’s outstanding body of work covers almost every genre in filmmaking. His mastery of pacing and tone is often on display as he rides the line between genres, from the action/comedy of LUCK-KEY, to the thriller/comedy PARASITE. Whether working on or off set Mr. Yang is truly a master of his artform. Multitalented moderator Sook-Yin Lee sits with Oscar-nominated editor Jinmo Yang, ACE for an in-depth conversation about the craft of Picture Editing.

Sook-Yin Lee is a Canadian filmmaker, musician, actor, and multimedia artist. The award-winning radio and TV broadcaster starred in John Cameron Mitchell’s ground- breaking LGBTQ movie, SHORTBUS, which premiered at Cannes. YEAR OF THE CARNIVORE, Leeʼs feature film debut as writer-director, premiered at TIFF. Sook-Yin won the 2014 Canadian Screen Award for Best Performance by a Lead Dramatic Actress for her role as “Olivia Chow” in JACK.

Avec PARASITE, du réalisateur Bong Joon-ho, M. Yang a obtenu une reconnaissance internationale, sous la forme notamment d’une nomination aux Oscars pour meilleur montage et un prix Eddie de l’ACE pour meilleur montage d’un long métrage de fiction. C’était la première fois qu’un film tourné dans une autre langue que l’anglais remportait ce prestigieux prix.

J'aime monter des films d'horreur. Surtout les histoires de fantômes...parce que c'est magique dans la salle de montage.

TABLE RONDE: Fièvre et frissons - le montage des films noirs et d’horreur

La dernière année a été généreuse en événements anxiogènes, et pourtant les films de peur nous servent toujours autant de moyen d’évasion. Joignez-vous aux monteur.euse.s Michele Conroy (DANS LES HAUTED HERBES, UN SILENCE DE MORT, MAMA), Jeff Barnaby (BLOOD QUANTUM, RIMES POUR REVENANTS), Dev Singh (GHOSTLAND, BACKCOUNTRY) et à la modératrice Erin Deck (RABID) qui livreront leur vision du montage dans un genre qui nous divertit, mais qui joue aussi avec nos peurs et nos anxiétés.

Erin Deck est une monteuse de cinéma et de télévision. Son travail lui a valu plusieurs nominations et récompenses aux prix GCR, Écrans canadiens et CCE. Elle a notamment monté les séries télévisées ALTERED CARBON, INTO THE BADLANDS, GINNY & GEORGIA et KILLJOYS. Au cinéma, elle a entre autres travaillé sur RABID, OUR HOUSE, BIG SKY, LES 12 COUPS DE MINUIT et LA FORÊT.

Jeff Barnaby was born and raised on the rural Mi’gMaq reserve of Listuguj, Quebec. A multi-disciplined artist, he has won several awards for his artwork, pœtry, short stories, music and films. His work provides a bare-knuckled view of post-colonial Mi’gMaq life, defying stereotypical treatments of First Nations’ narratives by using horror/sci-fi tropes to explore themes of violence, gender, race and Indigenous futurism.

Michele Conroy is a veteran film and television editor. Her work has earned multiple DGC awards including: MAMA, POMPEII and SPLICE, which was produced by Guillermo del Toro and directed by long- time collaborator Vincenzo Natali. Other collaborations with Natali include the ensemble romance PARIS, JE T’AIME, NOTHING, GETTING GILLIAM, and most recently IN THE TALL GRASS. Other theatrical releases include LITTLE ITALY, THE GRIZZLIES, and GINGER SNAPS: UNLEASHED. Her TV credits include VIKINGS, PENNY DREADFUL, FLASHPOINT, and THIS IS WONDERLAND

I edit movies and television. I hold a BSc in Biochemistry from Queen’s, attended Ryerson’s Film Studies program, and was a resident at the Canadian Film Centre. I’ve been fortunate to work with many wonderful artists and it is a joy to count them amongst my friends and collaborators. My credits include the acclaimed Backcountry, PEOPLE OF EARTH, and PICTURE DAY. In theatres and festivals soon: CINEMA OF SLEEP and SPIRAL. I’m currently working on the RESIDENT EVIL reboot.

Jouer dans le carré de sable et créer cet espace dans la salle de montage est la meilleure façon d'offrir du soutien aux créateurs.
Christine Armstrong
Monteuse, #BLACKAF

TABLE RONDE: Briser le moule de séries TV

We’re currently experiencing a watershed moment for increased representation in storytelling. This year we’ve seen a wealth of stories originating from the BIPOC, LGBTQ2S and female perspectives that not only tackle tough topics surrounding mental health, addiction, sexual assault and racial prejudice, but also present powerful aesthetic and editorial triumphs. The editors behind I MAY DESTROY YOU, EUPHORIA, and #BLACKAF join us to discuss their groundbreaking work.

Shonna Foster est une réalisatrice, une créatrice et une productrice primée. Elle a obtenu un baccalauréat en théâtre de l’université York, où elle a étudié au Creative Ensemble Conservatory. Elle travaille actuellement comme réalisatrice, productrice et conseillère au scénario indépendante pour le cinéma, la télévision et le contenu de marque et elle siège depuis longtemps sur le CA de l’organisme BIPOC TV & Film.

Christine Armstrong is a picture editor splitting her time between Los Angeles and Toronto. She has edited a variety of feature films, television series, short films, web series and commercials. Armstrong’s recent work includes editing the series #BLACKAF (Netflix), BARBELLE (Amazon) and feature films SUGAR DADDY, MARY GOES ROUND and THE NEW ROMANTIC which premiered at SXSW and won the Special Jury Recognition for Best First Feature. She is currently editing the series RUTHERFORD FALLS (NBCUniversal/Peacock) starring Ed Helms.

Shannon Baker Davis is an award-winning television and film editor. She began her career in unscripted television on iconic and Emmy-winning shows such as TOP CHEF and PROJECT RUNWAY. Her feature film credits include collaborations with directors Stella Meghie (THE WEEKEND, THE PHOTOGRAPH), and Ali LeRoi (THE OBITUARY OF TUNDE JOHNSON). She has worked with creators Issa Rae (INSECURE), Ava DuVernay (QUEEN SUGAR), and Kenya Barris (GROWN-ISH, #BLACKAF).

Julio C. Perez, IV lives and works in Los Angeles, editing in both narrative and documentary. His feature film work includes Chad Hartigan’s award-winning THIS IS MARTIN BONNER, which screened at Sundance, and an ongoing collaboration with director David Robert Mitchell, editing THE MYTH OF THE AMERICAN SLEEPOVER, IT FOLLOWS, and UNDER THE SILVER LAKE which have all screened at Cannes. He has recently worked with director Sam Levinson on the series EUPHORIA, as well as the upcoming feature MALCOLM AND MARIE.

Christian is a film editor, and occasional screenwriter. His career started in the writers room and as editor on the surreal comedy series CAMPUS. Recent work includes I MAY DESTROY YOU, SALLY4EVER, LOVE WEDDING REPEAT, and the upcoming FROM DEVIL’S BREATH, directed by Orlando von Einsiedel (VIRUNGA/THE WHITE HELMETS). In 2018 he wrote and edited TO WENDY WHO KICKED ME WHEN I SAID I LOVE YOU, an off- beat, romantic short film which premiered at the London Film Festival.

SALLES DE DISCUSSION

En compagnie du monteur Ryan Morrison (STOWAWAY, ARCTIQUE) et de l’assistant-monteur Russell Anderson (MANK), nous allons examiner les défis que présente le travail à distance et comment ils ont réussi à les surmonter dans leurs plus récents projets.

As editors our jobs are constantly expanding, with more and more tools at our fingertips it’s important to keep our technical skills as sharp as can be. Editing and co-ordinating with VFX can be daunting at times, but it’s always important to get it right. Editor Christopher Malanchen shares some tips, tricks and best practices that he learned from editing on Vice’s THE DEVIL YOU KNOW (Season 2) and Cooking Channel’s BITCHIN’ KITCHEN and from his tenure as the VFX Editor for BIG LITTLE LIES (Season 2).

Les nouveaux flux de travail représentaient déjà un défi, mais comment arrivons-nous à surmonter les difficultés mentales et physiques que présente le télétravail pendant une pandémie? Joignez-vous à cette table ronde de plusieurs membres de l’IATSE 891 pour discuter de ce que vous mettez en place pour rester motivé.e.s, pour prendre soin de votre santé mentale et physique (par exemple, ce que vous faites quand vous vous sentez déprimé.e.s) et pour communiquer avec votre équipe et garder les canaux ouverts. Nous parlerons aussi des changements dans la relation monteur.euse/assistant.e, des défi s reliés aux horaires et à la gestion du temps de travail. Au cours des deux jours de l’EditCon, divers membres de l’IATSE 891, tant des monteur.euse.s que des assistant.e.s-monteur.euse.s se joindront à la discussion : Mauri Bernstein, Sabrina Pitre, Gloria Mercer et Kelvin Tseng.

Every production starts with a solid plan but step by step as each phase inches closer and closer to being received by an editor’s invisible hand, that plan will unravel. Even if it is due to a global pandemic, it is on the editor to shift gears, to persevere for the story and aim to produce beyond what was undone. Let us discuss how we do this. Join the editor behind THE NATURE OF THINGS episode “The Covid Cruise” for a conversation about filmmaking in the Covid era.

Join editors Adam Phipps and Francis Laliberte, as they discuss the post-process for AMPLIFY, a 13-part documentary series about Indigenous musicians creating new works. Each episode features a different songwriter working through the creative process in-studio, while revealing how they personally relate to their new song. Further insight is brought to bear as Indigenous experts weigh-in on the deeper meaning of the song’s inspiration. All of this … on FCPx … seriously!

Cool heads, quick wits and sharp technical knowledge are just some of what is needed to be a great Assistant Editor. They are the lifeblood of post-production and our guests are at the top of their game. Join the Assistant Editors behind some of Canada’s most anticipated films from 2020: POSSESSOR, PERCY, and FUNNY BOY, as they discuss their approaches, challenges and answer your questions.

Dès l'instant où quelqu'un se sent moins seul grâce à une chose que j'ai faite, je me dis que j'ai accompli mon travail.

Cet événement a eu lieu le 12 janvier 2021

Conférence en français  /  Presented in French

Myriam Poirier signe le montage et la conception sonore du film 14 jours, 12 nuits, de Jean-Philippe Duval. Nous parlerons avec elle de son double rôle sur ce projet, qui lui a permis de renouer avec le travail de monteuse sonore, qu’elle a exercé au début de sa carrière. Ce somptueux film, tissé tout en finesse, nous démontre l’importance accordée au langage tant visuel que sonore d’un film.

L’événement sera animé par Isabelle Malenfant, CCE.

Isabelle Malenfant nourrit une passion pour les histoires dramatiques, mais aussi un intérêt pour les projets qui la poussent à apprendre de nouvelles techniques. C’est cette curiosité qui l’a amenée à toucher à la comédie (Steak, Dans Une Galaxie Près de Chez Vous 2, Fabuleuses), aux projets d’effets spéciaux (Assassin’s Creed, Watch Dogs), et à l’animation (Mune, The Procession). Fidèle collaboratrice de Francis Leclerc, elle a travaillé avec lui sur le populaire sitcom Les beaux malaises, les séries Le Phoenix, Marche à l’ombre et Mon meilleur ami, de même que sur les longs métrages Pieds nus dans l’aube et L’arracheuse de temps. Elle a aussi travaillé aux côtés des réalisateur.trice.s Yves Simoneau, François Jaros, Louise Archambault, Quentin Dupieux, Olivier Asselin et Mélanie Charbonneau. Elle a souvent été en nomination aux Gémeaux, aux Jutra de même qu’aux prix CCE. En 2018, elle a remporté le prix CCE pour meilleur montage d’un long métrage avec Pieds nus dans l’aube. Elle aime être impliquée sur le CA du CCE pour mettre en lumière le talent des monteur.euse.s québécois.e.s lors des événements francophones et échanger à propos de notre art créatif avec le reste de la communauté du CCE.

Myriam Poirier, CCE, cumule près de 35 ans d’expérience en montage. Après des débuts en tant que monteuse sonore, elle se consacre uniquement au montage autant en documentaire qu’en série télévisée et long-métrage de fiction. Parmi les oeuvres auxquelles elle a collaboré, on note entre autres les documentaires “Citizen Lambert : Jeanne d’Architecture” et les docu-séries “Marché Jean-Talon”, “École de danse” et “Manifestes en série”; les séries dramatiques “Belle Baie”, “Prozac”, “Mensonges”,” L’imposteur”, “Fugueuse” et “Unité 9”; les films “La chasse-galerie ” et “14 jours, 12 nuits”. Plusieurs de ces projets sont le fruit de son étroite collaboration avec le réalisateur Jean-Philippe Duval. Elle a aussi mis son talent artistique à contribution auprès de Renée Blanchar, Teri Wehn-Damisch, Éric Tessier et Yan Lanouette-Turgeon.

Editing Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult with Inbal B. Lessner, ACE and Gillian McCarthy

Editing Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult with Inbal B. Lessner, ACE and Gillian McCarthy
le 12 janvier, 2021

Cet événement a eu lieu le 12 janvier 2021

Presented in English / Présenté en anglais

Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult chronicles the extraordinary and harrowing journey of India Oxenberg – the daughter of Hollywood actress Catherine Oxenberg and a descendant of European royalty – who was seduced into the modern-day sex-slave cult NXIVM. More than 17,000 people, including India, enrolled in NXIVM’s “Executive Success Programs,” a front for the cult and a hunting ground for its leader, master predator Keith Raniere. Women in DOS, a secret master-slave society within NXIVM, were sex-trafficked and branded with a cauterizing iron. Both about a mother trying to save her daughter and recovery from trauma, the series follows India’s seduction, indoctrination, enslavement, escape – and her role as “co-conspirator” in assisting the U.S. government with bringing down Raniere and his criminal enterprise. In addition to being a rigorous and unsparing examination of India’s abuse and her own culpability, it explores how India and a chorus of other women are still grappling to make sense of their experience. The series also showcases extensive insider footage and exposes the inner circle of enablers around Keith Raniere.

This series is about women by women. It had women in all key positions, and they took great care in creating an environment for the cult survivors who shared their stories, in which they felt supported before, during and after filming. We will discuss the ins and outs of shaping such a complex and sensitive story and the challenges that Inbal and Gillian came across in the edit suite.

Seduced: Inside the NXIVM Cult is available on Crave in Canada and on the Starz app almost anywhere else, a secure link will also be shared with people who RSVP! This talk will be moderated by Sarah Taylor.

Sarah Taylor is award-winning editor with over eighteen years of experience. She has a passion for storytelling and has cut a wide range of documentaries, corporate videos, television programs, and full length feature films. Her work has been seen in festivals around the world including Sundance. She is a member of the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC) and is the host of the CCE podcast The Editor’s Cut.

Inbal B. Lessner, ACE, is an Emmy® and Eddie-nominated editor and producer. On her latest project, “SEDUCED: Inside the NXIVM Cult,”  which she co-created with her filmmaking partner, Director Cecilia Peck, she takes on the roles of Lead Editor, Writer and Executive Producer. This four-part documentary series, premiering on STARZ, follows one young woman’s perilous journey through the dark and criminal world of NXIVM, the notorious self-help-group-turned-sex-slave-cult. 

Inbal and Cecilia Peck’s last collaboration was the Emmy-nominated feature documentary Brave Miss World, which debuted on Netflix in 2014. It is the story of an Israeli beauty queen, who was raped seven weeks prior to her winning the Miss World pageant, and her crusade to reach out to fellow survivors while trying to keep her own rapist behind bars. 

In 2019, Inbal edited and co-produced “The Movies: The Golden Age,” executive produced by Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog. This was the latest in her 4-year-long collaboration with the team that produced CNN’s Emmy-nominated “Decades” series. Inbal has edited seven episodes in the series and was nominated for an ACE Editing Award for “The Nineties: Can We All Get Along.”

Inbal’s editing credits include ReMastered: The Two Killings of Sam Cooke (Netflix Original, Dir. Kelly Duane), nominated for an Outstanding Documentary NAACP Image Award, and Autism: The Sequel, (HBO, Dir. Tricia Regan), a follow-up to the Emmy-winning Autism: The Musical (2007). She edited and co-produced the internationally acclaimed, award-winning, I Have Never Forgotten You, about Nazi hunter Simon Wiesenthal.  Inbal also directed the docudrama Night Bites and was second-unit producer on the HBO/ARTE documentary Watermarks.

Over the course of her career, Inbal has worked in the cutting rooms of directors such as Davis Guggenheim (Teach), R.J. Cutler (“American Candidate”), Kief Davidson and Daniel Junge (A Lego Brickumentary), Jeremy Simmons (“Transgeneration”), Tracy Droz Tragos (Be Good, Smile Pretty) as well as Natalie Portman’s feature directorial debut (A Tale of Love and Darkness). 

Inbal began making films when she was in high school and later produced training films for the Israeli Defense Forces.  At NYU, she was the recipient of the prestigious, merit-based, WTC Johnson Fellowship, awarded to one student filmmaker a year.  Since moving to Los Angeles, Inbal has edited hundreds of hours of non-scripted network and cable television shows. She was also a Visiting Professor at UNCSA Film School, and a mentor in the Karen Schmeer Diversity in the Edit Room Program.

Gillian McCarthy is an accomplished editor whose creative style combines compelling storytelling with a cinematic sensibility.  Her feature documentary credits include the Oscar nominated Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience, Girl Rising, and Above and Beyond: 60 Years of NASA. Her television credits include work for ABC, PBS, Showtime, STARZ, Discovery and OWN.  She learned her craft working in the most precise form of visual storytelling, the television commercial, editing countless national campaigns in New York and Toronto.  A dual American and Canadian citizen, she lives in Los Angeles.

MISSED SEEING IT LIVE? Check out the podcasts!

Panel #1: Making a difference - Cutting content with an important social message

The 6th Annual CCE Awards Event GalaRoushell Goldstein was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, received her BA from Carleton University, and immediately left Ottawa on her “Grand Tour” of Europe. In 1968, she ended her tour in Israel where she settled in the city of Jerusalem with an offer to work at the newly established Israeli Television Network. For the next five years, she worked in the editing department on news, sports, current affairs and the odd documentary (where budgets allowed). Roushell learned to edit with glue and hot-splices, then Steenbecks arrived from Germany, and she progressed to splicing tape and the splicer. That, of course, lasted for a few decades until the big transition to digital in the early 1990s.

Her first job back in Canada in 1973, was with Hobel-Leiterman Productions cranking out weekly documentaries for two series: Here Comes the 70’s et Target the Impossible. Many young and talented people got their start there as directors and editors, guided by the visionary television producer Douglas Leiterman and his wife, Beryl Fox.

After a year there she continued to work off and on as a freelancer for CTV, CBC, the National Film Board and many, many privately-funded productions, creating documentaries, TV one-offs and series, both documentary and drama, and feature films until retirement.

Alan Collins was born in India and grew up in the UK where he studied Drama and Film at Bristol University. He was inspired to become a film editor after viewing Battleship Potemkin by Sergei Eisenstein and reading the bible of the edit room, The Technique of Film Editing (K. Reisz, G. Lambert) in 1967.

He became a fan of Roger Corman’s movies, particularly The Pit and the Pendulum et The Wild Angels and sent the director reviews he had written of these movies in the university newspaper while a film student. He was later hired by Corman as an Assistant Editor on the World War 1 feature Von Richthofen and Brown  filmed at Ardmore Studios near Dublin, Ireland in 1973.

Corman invited him to Hollywood, where he was promoted to co-editor of Von Richthofen and Brown and edited 3 more features for New World Pictures. While in Los Angeles he edited I Escaped from Devil’s Island starring Jim Brown.

Alan moved to Toronto in 1975 where he edited The Clown Murders, starring John Candy, and Love at First Sight, starring Dan Aykroyd, which received a Best Editing Award from the newly formed Canadian Film Editors guild in 1977. Collins then edited David Cronenberg’s The Brood, which later became a cult classic.

In 1987 Alan was series editor on the original Degrassi High series directed by Kit Hood. After editing 13 features and numerous documentaries he began teaching Film Editing at Ryerson University in Toronto from 1994 to 2006, just as the industry was shifting from flatbed editing to digital editing.

Alan firmly believes that editing is a tradition handed down from one generation to the next; his main influences being David Lean, Thelma Schumacher (Goodfellas) and Walter Murch (The Conversation).

In 2006 he moved to Halifax and began working as a producer. In 2007 he was invited by Focal Press to write the Foreword for the second edition of The Technique of Film Editing, the book that had played such a central role in his life as an editor. He describes this as one of the proudest moments in his life along with receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the CCE.

In 2015 Collins produced his  first feature, Relative Happiness, based on the best-selling novel by Nova Scotia author Lesley Crewe. He has also directed and edited two documentaries, Drowning in Colour: The Art of Wayne Boucher (2013) and Terminal: A day in the life of the Dartmouth Bridge Terminal (2014).

Debra Karen became interested in film when she took an elective course in Cinema at Dawson College in Montreal which was taught by Larry Kent. While studying, she was hired as a second assistant editor to work at Cinepix on their production of Across This Land with Stompin’ Tom Connors.

When that film finished she remained at Cinepix working on hundreds of commercials for the films they distributed while finishing her education at night and during summer “holidays”, graduating in Communication Arts, magna cum laude.

“Editing was a career choice that meant everything to me”, Debra says. “There was always something to learn, puzzles to solve and new challenges to be faced. For someone who loves movies, it is the best career choice. The editor tells the story of the film in a way that is appropriate to the story. Does the scene call for shock or suspense? Should the editing be invisible or aggressive? The editor makes every person on a film, whether in front of the camera or behind, look good. I can’t think of a better profession.”

Her credits at Cinepix included Bill Fruet’s Death Weekend, Eddie Matalon’s Blackout, Ivan Reitman’s Meatballs, Larry Kent’s Yesterday and J. Lee Thompson’s Happy Birthday to Me.

Debra worked on many Canadian and American TV movies and miniseries, working with directors including Philip Saville, George Kaczender, Pierre Gang, Simon Wincer and Tim Southam. Her association with Joseph Sargent was the most productive and included eight TV movies and miniseries including: Day One starring Brian Dennehy and David Strathairn; The Incident starring Walter Matthau; Ivory Hunters starring John Lithgow, Isabella Rossellini and James Earl Jones; Mandela and de Klerk starring Sidney Poitier and Michael Caine; Streets of Laredo starring James Garner and Sissy Spacek; and Salem Witch Trials starring Kirstie Alley, Henry Czerny, Alan Bates, Peter Ustinov and Shirley MacLaine.

Debra is an icon of this industry – literally… hers is the face of Cronenberg’s Shivers. Debra currently resides with her husband, Michael in Hudson, Québec.

Ralph Brunjes, CCE, started his career at the CBC in the 60s, coming up through the ranks as an assistant editor, sound editor and film editor on groundbreaking dramas and documentaries such as Wojeck, The Whiteoaks of Jalna, The Nature of Things et This Land of Ours. He was promoted to Editor in Charge at age 27 and a year later to Assistant Supervising Editor in charge of the day to day running of the Film Department. He had the great pleasure of working with Glenn Gould on the soundtrack of the legendary documentary The Idea of North.

In 1975 Ralph went freelance and focused on drama editing, amassing a large list of credits on over 50 television movies, 16 features, 13 mini-series and multiple TV series. His commitment to excellence in the craft of editing has earned him multiple nominations and awards over the years, including Best Sound and Best Picture Editing Awards the first year of the Geminis, and an Emmy nomination for Joan of Arc.

Ralph has always valued his role as a mentor to young and emerging talent. Throughout his career he has enjoyed working with many great filmmakers, developing lifelong friendships and creative collaborations.

Rik Morden grew up in Hamilton, Ontario and discovered an interest in painting early on. He combined this interest with his passion for storytelling and quickly became an editor hailed for precision, artistry and creativity. Throughout his 35-year career Rik edited feature films, corporate presentations, TV commercials and music videos (which he also produced and directed; Stray Cats, Rush, Chris De Burgh). He was also the rare Canadian to have won an Emmy Award—in 2000 for outstanding achievement in single camera editing for his work on the HBO movie, Mary Cassatt: An American Impressionist.

Rik was rewarded for his efforts with many other awards and nominations. He was nominated for another Emmy in 1999 for Edison: The Wizard of Light, won a Directors Guild of Canada Team Award in 2007 for his editing of the well-reviewed documentary Sharkwater, and was nominated for several other DGC and Gemini awards (Beethoven Lives Upstairs, Rembrandt: Fathers and Sons, Bailey’s Billion$).

Rik’s diversity of talent and pursuit of excellence made him a singular talent and mentor amongst editors.

Gary L. “Kelly” Smith, CCE, was amongst the pioneers of electronic post production and widely known in the Toronto and L.A. communities of editors. His career began at CKNX-TV in Wingham, Ontario in the late 1960’s and flourished until his passing.

To work with him, you would find that he was kind of a quiet guy, but he demanded professionalism on the job and it could be said that “he did not suffer fools gladly”. If you did your job, he had your back. With that trust and his well-known sense of humour (which ran more towards practical jokes), he maintained a core group of friends for more than 40 years.

Professionally, Kelly Smith rose to the top of the game, but he did not sacrifice his family or his private life to the business. He married his wife Sandy in 1979 and together they had a daughter, Kerry, and a son, Sean. He was a Blue Jays fan, a life-long rock and roller, as well as being very handy with his hands, whether it was wood working or building a home theatre, he had many projects that intrigued him. He enjoyed socializing with his many friends—and like his family, they miss him too

Ron Wisman, CCE, has been an integral component of the Canadian editing community for over 40 years. Ron has an impressive resume of 89 titles with almost half being Movies of the Week; The Violin, one of the first films that he cut, was nominated for an Academy Award.

His editing has garnered many accolades, with 20 nominations and 10 wins. He was continually recognized by the Canadian Film Editors Guild and won a Genie for his outstanding work on Joshua Then And Now. The following year he was awarded both an ACE Eddie and a Gemini for Sword Of Gideon. He also cut the cult classic, The Pyx. Collaborating with John Woo, Michael Anderson, Ted Kotcheff and Canadian legend Don Shebib to name a few, he has helped shape performances of many Hollywood legends; from Charlton Heston and Vanessa Redgrave to Lloyd Bridges and Christopher Plummer.

In addition to the above achievements, it is important to remember that a career like this is full of more than titles and credits; it is a testament to a devoted and sought-after craftsmen. 

George Appleby’s life was defined by love, success and adventure, all of which he shared freely with the people he met and worked with. He had a lot of friends.

Though born in Toronto, at age nine, George moved with his family to Bogota, Columbia, when his father was transferred there for work. In Bogota, George was educated in Spanish and English, until his teens, when he returned to Canada.

After high school, tall and handsome George set his sights on acting. He hung around the University of Toronto’s Hart House Theatre, and its then director, Robert Gill, absorbing the world of theatre. But it was the editing suite that eventually took his interest after he landed his first job on the CBC series, The Forest Rangers, in the early 1960s. He would go on to work steadily as an editor right up until his death in December 1999.

George cut many of Canada’s iconic series and feature films, from Adventures in Rainbow Country, Street Legal, et Cold Squad to Outrageous, The Silent Partner, Isabel, and many others. He received numerous awards for his work, including Canadian Film Editors Guild awards, an Etrog and a Genie nomination.
