Members of the Irish Screen Editors Guild (I.S.E.) are joining editors around the world in celebrating World Screen Editors Day today. This is a new annual celebration that recognises the craft and contribution of film and television editors around the world. TEMPO, a federation that connects associations of film editors from all over the world, is beginning this new celebration in 2026, and it will recur every year on October 26.

WORLD SCREEN EDITORS DAY will bring together editors and editor associations internationally to celebrate the craft of editing, foster connections within the editing community, and highlight the often unseen work that shapes the stories audiences see on screen.

Watch out for the hashtags today from @tempo_filmeditors and @irishscreenedit on your social media for images and stories from editors who are passionate about their craft.

I had the opportunity to write an article for the latest edition of the Assembled Magazine for the Irish Screen Editors Guild (ISE), about the challenges people with disabilities face when entering the post production industry. A recent graduate of mine from the Creative Broadcast & Film Production programme, Katie Quirke, also gave me a direct insight to the challenges and how things can be improved for editors with disabilities. This article and many others are now available to read from the ISE website HERE or by clicking the image above. Special thanks to Katie for allowing me to tell some of her story and to Shane Woods ISE for asking me to contribute to this issue.
