“Like Visions of Light, Arnold Glassman and Todd McCarthy's 1993 exploration of the craft and history of cinematography, this film, directed - and edited - by Alex Shuper, examines a central component of the art that is often neglected or taken for granted. In the process it illuminates the essence of motion pictures. Grounded as it is in technical and historical detail, Edge Codes.com is also full of intellectual provocation. It performs a rare and valuable critical service, which is to connect nuts and bolts (or rather celluloid, scissors and glue, along with their digital equivalents) with big ideas about time, technology and the workings of the human mind. By now, no one can doubt that movies have influenced our way of perceiving the world, and this film helps to show just how they have done it.” – New York Times

Edge Codes.com is a radical journey through the history of motion picture editing - the essence of cinema. Featuring outstanding interviews with the visionaries of the art and contemporary masters of the craft, Shuper’s film goes beyond the cutting edge, unlocking the future of montage and exploring editing as a universal language shaping our perceptions of the world around us.
