A new annual celebration that recognizes the craft and contribution of film and television editors around the world.

Beginning in 2026, and recurring every year on October 26, WORLD SCREEN EDITORS DAY will bring together editors and editor associations internationally to celebrate the craft of editing, foster connections within the editing community, and highlight the often unseen work that shapes the stories audiences see on screen.

TEMPO member associations will mark the day in ways that reflect their own communities and cultures.

Activities include:

• Bringing editors together to connect in person through a meetup, shared film screening, masterclass, panel discussion, or other event;
  
• Recognizing a colleague who has gone above and beyond in supporting, mentoring, or promoting the craft of editing, including through an award or special recognition;
  
• Sharing the craft online, with editors invited to give audiences a glimpse behind the scenes by sharing timelines, workflows, editing setups, or other insights into the creative process.

Throughout WORLD SCREEN EDITORS DAY, TEMPO member associations will also participate across social media, helping create a shared international celebration and giving editors around the world a common visual identity for.

TEMPO invites film and television editor associations around the world to participate in the inaugural WORLD SCREEN EDITORS DAY on October 26, 2026, and to make the celebration their own.
