Paolo Bertolin Set as Artistic Director of New Zealand Film Festival Following Programming Exodus
Paolo Bertolin is set as the artistic director of the New Zealand International Film Festival following the resignation of half the programming team.
The New Zealand International Film Festival has appointed veteran programmer Paolo Bertolin as its new artistic director. The announcement follows the release of the festival’s ten-year strategy document, “Te Ahua o te Whanau Marama,” in November 2023, in which the organization acknowledged the significant impact of operating within the challenging climate of a global pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis and outlined its plans to adapt the festival to ensure its future viability. “NZIFF remains as committed as ever to presenting a world-class festival and preserving the cinema-going experience, and we look forward to escaping Aotearoa’s winter weather inside some of our nation’s most beloved venues to enjoy the best of film alongside our audiences.”
