The Guild of British Film and Television Editors Objectives:

The GBFTE aims to promote the importance of the editor's contribution to film making and encourage discussion between editors about technical and creative matters. It also promotes the improvement and protection of the role and rights of an editor or assistant as an essential and significant contributor to all productions.

The Guild is one of the founding members of the Cine Guilds of Great Britain, CGGB, an organisation of the craft guilds of the film industry, which has recently set up the CineMasters project to pass the skills, knowledge and enthusiasm of its members to the next generation of film makers.
