section has promoted longtime chief programmer Gaia Furrer to the role of artistic director of the section modeled on the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight.
Furrer will now take the reins and call the shots regarding the lineup of Venice Days, known in Italy as the Giornate Degli Autori. She joins a growing number of women at the helm of film events in Europe such as Lili Hinstin, artistic director of the Locarno Festival in Switzerland, and Eva Sangiorgi who heads the Viennale, Austria’s top film fest.
That said, Furrer will also still be working closely with Venice Days General Delegate Giorgio Gosetti, who launched the section in 2004. Gosetti remains on board in a less hands-on role. Furrer will also continue to collaborate with the rest of the Venice Days programming team comprising becomes head of programming, and the section’s programmers Mazzino Montinari, Cédric Succivalli and Andrei Tănăsescu.
Furrer called her appointment “an honor and a challenge,” in the statement and noted that “given the exceptional circumstances” due to the coronavirus pandemic this year’s edition will be “a golden opportunity to rethink the very role of film festivals and how they reach their audiences.”
