Craft Summit 2017: The Art of Editing with Walter Murch

“Film editing is now something almost everyone can do at a simple level and enjoy it, but to take it to a higher level requires the same dedication and persistence that any art form does.” (Walter Murch)
Universally acknowledged as a master of picture editing and sound design, legendary film editor Walter Murch discussed his body of work with Taghi Amirani.
This session was part of the Craft Summit presented in partnership with Documentary Campus at Sheffield Doc/Fest 2017.
Filmed by Sheffield Hallam University Students and edited by Matthew Sturdy from Cosmic Joke.
