At the 2019 edition of the German editing film festival Filmplus, a new Federation of Film Editors Associations named TEMPO was set up. TEMPO is an international umbrella organization for editors associations, in order to keep in touch outside the annual festival meet-up (much like IMAGO is for Cinematographers).
Only associations can become a member of this federation, and at a celebratory event on October 26th, a total of 12 countries – among which F.C.E – signed the founding statutes. More countries are expected to join.
TEMPO will soon have a website with a forum where the exchange of information between members of the various editors associations can continue. But it is also a place to share the results of local surveys.
This should become a platform for international colleagues to stay in touch outside of the annual Filmplus festival – which, from 2020, will continue under their new name: EDIMOTION – Festival for the Art of Film Editing.
