About the session:
The Canadian Cinema Editors and Film Training Manitoba are excited to announce our first partnership together during EditCon 2026! The conference will host virtual events as well as in-person events in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton, Halifax and now Winnipeg!
Join us both in welcoming Winnipeg’s very own Matthew Hannam as he explores his journey from assistant editor in the prairies to award-winning picture editor in LA. During this conversation, Matthew will discuss what it was like finding his footing in the world of picture editing and what connections and choices he made that brought him to work on films such as IRON CLAW and WHITE NOISE.
We will also open the doors to the topic of “should I stay or should I go” – a common question amongst many creatives who are established in smaller cities yet curious as to what else is out there.
About EditCon 2026:
The Canadian Cinema Editors (CCE) is pleased to present EDITCON 2026, the ninth annual conference on the art of picture editing, which will take place between February 6th to 8th, 2026.
EditCon 2026 celebrates the remarkable voices shaping the craft of post-production, both in Canada and abroad, and the outstanding work they bring to life.
This year’s event features a series of online and in-person discussion panels exploring the art and technique of editing across genres and mediums — from film and documentary to television and assisting. Participants are invited to connect, exchange ideas, and draw inspiration as we celebrate the creative power and global influence of post-production.
In addition to fascinating panels and a podcast, there will be a series of virtual breakout rooms as well as some exciting programming for our in person events. We will also have some amazing products to raffle off!
