Droid Olympics

series of informal competitions held in the late 1970s and early 80s, conceived by Walter Murch, that celebrated the physical craft and camaraderie of analog film editing. The 'Olympics' treated the laborious, mechanical skills of assistant editors as a sport, highlighting a bygone era where editing was a profoundly physical and communal activity. The event's name derived from the term 'droids,' used by assistants on 'Apocalypse Now' to describe their repetitive, machine-like work.
