A large-scale tribute to editing, entitled “In the Cut: Editing and its Secrets”, will welcome nine top-notch editors from Greece and abroad who will share their experience in master classes and workshops. They will also have a carte blanche to select films that they consider iconic within the art of editing or which have been influential on their careers. Sixteen Greek-language and English-language podcasts will take part in the Podcast competition section of the festival, while the audience will have a chance to enjoy another ten podcasts out of competition. Finally, TIFF will pay tribute to Bulgarian filmmaker Binka Zhelyazkova (see the news).
