Berlinale Faces Leadership Uncertainty as Tuttle’s Future Comes Under Review
Berlin Film Festival director Tricia Tuttle’s future is in doubt after a tumultuous Berlinale; an extraordinary meeting of the festival’s supervisory board was convened to discuss the Berlinale’s direction following controversy over the 76th edition and Gaza-related discourse, with Bild citing culture minister Wolfram Weimer as triggering the session. The festival said it would discuss its future and would not comment on speculation, while European film bodies expressed support for Tuttle as she guides the festival under a two-year-of-five contract.
