Australian Screen Editors

Australian Screen Editors (ASE) was founded in 1996 by Henry Dangar and Jenny Ward. The guild is dedicated to the pursuit and recognition of excellence in the arts, sciences and technology of motion picture film and televisual post production. The current President of ASE is Fiona Strain ASE. Immediate past Presidents include Deborah Peart, Dany Cooper ASE, Jason Ballantine, Dr Karen Pearlman, Lindi Harrison and Peter Whitmore. The first President was notable Australia editor Henry Dangar.

Formed in 1996 and with currently 300 members in all states, predominantly in NSW and Victoria, the guild aims to promote, improve and protect the role of editor as an essential and significant contributor to all screen productions.

Membership

Applications for ASE membership are invited from professional screen editors, assistant editors, students of screen editing and associated film industry professionals. Applicants must have a folio of significant editorial work in film and/or television. There are three types of memberships, full members, associate members and student members. Some notable members such as Jill Bilcock are members of both the Australian Screen Editors and American Cinema Editors. Members are not permitted to use the acronym "ASE" after their names on screen credits until they obtain ASE accreditation.

Accreditation

ASE accreditation is like an honorary degree given to members who have made a significant contribution to editing. There are currently 46 accredited members. Accreditation is presented at the annual ASE awards night and are given under the following guidelines.

Guild structure

The ASE has an executive committee based in Sydney and a sub committee in Melbourne who meet monthly to discuss issues and organise events such as talks by industry professionals and screenings.

Resources

ASE owns and operates both "Editsearch", an online based bulletin board for ASE members providing information on editorial related jobs, and a mentor scheme, where younger or less experienced members can gain work experience with senior industry professionals. In addition, ASE also provides a wealth of resources such as an online forum, technical articles and information about Australian editing culture as well as the history of editing. A newsletter is also published quarterly and distributed to members.

Awards

ASE awards and accreditation nights are held annually in Sydney. The award itself is called an "Ellie" and resembles a small bronze Elephant with its trunk up and the winning film as a rubber stamp on the bottom. Eligible members are presented with their ASE accreditation and awards in the following eleven categories are presented:

The award for TV (comedy) is the most recent addition to the categories being added in 2014.
