Following an exciting nomination event in March, Twickenham Film Studios welcomed British Film Editors (BFE) on The Terrace last week, for a red carpet event celebrating the 2022 Cut Above Awards. The annual ceremony are the only awards to exclusively recognise excellence in film editing in the UK. This year’s edition was live-streamed from TFS.
British Film Editors is a non-profit association of film and TV editors and assistant editors in the UK, with the time to celebrate the art and science of film editing, in all its forms. BFE champions the work of their established members and nurtures new talent, alongside bringing together industry professionals to share their experiences and practices. The association largely contributes to the development of inclusivity and diversity in the industry.
This year, Twickenham Film Studios have sponsored the Best Edited Series: Documentary or Non-Fiction, in which was nominated The Beatles: Get Back documentary series. Edited by Jabez Olssen, the episodic won the award.
Eight editors received more than one nomination, with productions nominated in two categories. Named in memory of BFE members who sadly passed away in 2020, two categories were peer-nominated by editors and assistants, and decided by a jury.
