Film editing is associated, among other functions, with the organisation of fragments of shots of images and sounds for the construction of an audiovisual work. Like the director, the editor becomes a storyteller by accepting an artistic idea, interpreting, decoding and seeking to express, with the necessary vitality of creativity, our ways of understanding the world, ideas and points of view. This is a sense-creating reason, influenced by the critical spirit of reflection of our everyday life. Being aware that the development of the world is based on the ability to understand oneself, the poetics of cinema is in the middle of it all.
The Second Meeting proposes a space for confluence, academic collaboration and exchange between EICTV, the Caribbean Region, Latin America and the EU. The aim is for this event not only to be an academic space for meetings but also to become a point of union and twinning for editors and specialists in the area and from other regions; an ideal quarry to strengthen knowledge and rethink the procedures used, in recent years of technological evolution, in the different regions of the planet.
Materialising the teaching through debates, talks, exchanges on new trends, practices and previous skills; this Second International Meeting of Editors EICTV - Latin America and the Caribbean - EU promotes and watches over the development of future projects in film editing; the technological conditioning factors; the teaching methods in Film Schools; as well as the different ways of facing the speciality taking into account the production system to which it belongs; the existing relationship between music, sound and editing and the use of structure in film narration between exhibitions, conferences and good dialogue.
