Berlinale director Tricia Tuttle has appointed Jacqueline Lyanga and Michael Stütz as film programming co-directors.
This amounts to an expanded role for Stütz who will continue to head the Panorama strand, dedicated to new trends and new voices in international filmmaking, alongside his new position as co-director of film programming. “Michael and Jacqueline bring a strong and complementary combination of skills and networks, and they are both hugely smart, collaborative creative leaders as well as passionate, generous cinephiles,” said Tuttle in the statement. New executive positions announced include: Florian Weghorn who has held several curatorial and management positions at the fest since 2002 and will become the Berlinale’s first chief of staff, starting on July 1; Tommy Kommer, an expert in corporate finance in the cultural sector who becomes director of finance and business operations; and Miriam Reimers who becomes the Berlinale’s director of program operations and production.
