International Film Editors Forum (IFEF)

The 8th edition of the International Film Editors Forum (IFEF) will be held in-person on the 25th of October 2025 in Cologne, from 12:00 to 16:30, with a lunch included from 13:00 to 14:00.

The IFEF is a four-hour networking event aimed at film editors who are actively involved in advancing their profession and its working conditions in their respective countries. Participants are given the opportunity to exchange their experiences, and together develop solutions that address the various challenges facing the profession all over the world. Elements of the workshop formats „world café“ and „open space“ are used. The facilitator this year is Christine von Fragstein.

In recent years, the IFEF has attracted editors from over 30 different countries to Cologne, including far-flung travellers from countries such as Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cuba, Gambia, India, Iran, Kenya, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand and the USA.

To quote Job ter Burg, who has taken part several times: „Participants from across the globe have found the IFEF an experience with a long-lasting effect, with attendees going back home energized and inspired, having broadened both their networks and their horizons.“

Note: Participation is only possible with prior registration and limited to a maximum of four people per country. Please register no later than 20 October 2025 by using the registration form. We request a participation fee of 20 Euros to cover the lunch and tea time catering. To save time on the day, you can pay online here.
