AT&T Lounge at Spring Studios 6 St Johns Ln, New York City, United States

ACE is Thrilled to Announce These Inaugural Events in Partnership with the Tribeca Film Festival! These are free and open to the public, but you must have a ticket. Editors are the ultimate puzzle-solvers of filmmaking, turning hours of footage into polished and compelling stories we see on screen. But what really happens in the edit suite between cuts? From navigating the industry to honing their craft, this brilliant panel of established editors will share practical tips, insightful advice, and firsthand accounts of the challenges, successes, and experiences that have shaped their careers. Panelists, all presenting films in this year’s program, include Christina Sun Kim (New Wave), Kristina Motwani (1-800-On-Her-Own), Nesa Azimi (DRIVER), Siyi Chen (Made In Ethiopia). Moderated by M. Watanabe Milmore, ACE (Satisfied).
