Emma Backman(I)
- Editor
- Editorial Department
Swedish Film editor working on commercials, music videos, short films and documentaries. Living between Stockholm and Berlin, working globally.
As a former dancer I'm intuitively drawn to movement, rhythm and sound in my work. Besides that, my approach to editing is driven from the concept of montage, the French word for "editing". Using editing to build a story, rather than just ensuring continuity.
Crafting footage to bring clarity, emotion and intention to film.
I learned a lot from legendary Walter Murch's writings, and I have been lucky to work with directors with a strong understanding of editing as a balance between art and craft.
In 2023 I completed editing the feature documentary As We Speak, directed by J.M. Harper of Park Pictures. The film examines hip-hop lyrics and the criminal justice system. It premiered at 2024 Sundance Film Festival and is streaming on Paramount+
