Any students out there? if you read this, sign up for next year's Talent Campus which runs with the Berlin Film Festival. There are 500 students from all over the world. The language is English, thank goodness, since I was invited there this year and managed to give a session on film editing which went down a treat. I was lucky since I had the foresight to ask Avid Germany to send a machine and an engineer, and my assistant Gavin came too with his girlfriend Jennie. They didn't pay for Gavin and I was really happy that he'd decided to come anyway. He was a great help....and the first session was a symposium on film editing chaired by Larry Sider of the National Film School. As usual I was the oldest person on stage - and the fact that Larry introduced me as 'legendary' caused he to think about my age....well, I cut my first film in the 60s so you can tell....anyway, there I was on the platform with Angie Lam from Hong Kong (she cut HERO and KUNG FU HUSTLE), a girl from New York who cut documentaries and a German editor called Dirk. We answered questions and generally fooled around for 2 hours - there were some 300 people in the audience. Then, the following day, I gave my session on editing, where I cut a section from THE DECAMERON in front of the students and then invited people up on stage to have a go themselves. Gavin helped them while I did a Q&A with clips from films I had edited. It seemed to go down well. I only had time for two editors to try their hand at cutting the scene, and if I'm ever asked to return, I'll probably change the format. But it was fun and perhaps instructive....would you people out there let me know if you are reading this stuff? Should I create my own website?
