Berlinale appoints co-directors of film programs as part of new executive team

The Berlin Film Festival has appointed Jacqueline Lyanga and Michael Stutz as co-directors of film programmes as part of a new executive team.

The duo was appointed by the new director of the Berlinale, Tricia Tuttle. They will work with Tuttle to curate the Competition and Berlinale Special sections, including the Berlinale Special Gala, and will lead the broader team in shaping the overall film selection.

Stutz will continue in his current role as head of Panorama alongside his new deputy director of programming.

Tuttle also made three new executive appointments as part of a new management structure announced in April.
