No decision has yet been taken on the future of Berlinale festival director Tricia Tuttle following a crisis meeting this morning, according to German press reports.
A meeting of the festival’s management company, Kulturveranstaltungen des Bundes in Berlin GmbH (KBB), took place to discuss Tuttle’s future after the recent edition of the festival was overshadowed by politics and high emotion.
The meeting was called by German minister of state for culture Wolfram Weimer, who is chairman of the KKB.
“This morning, a supervisory board meeting of KBB GmbH took place in the Chancellery. The topic was the Berlinale,” said a spokesman for Weimer. “Talks on the Berlinale will continue in the coming days between the director, Tricia Tuttle, and the supervisory board.”
Ahead of the meeting to discuss her future, Tuttle received a wave of support from Berlinale colleagues as well as the wider German, Israeli and international film industry.
