Prominent European and international industry figures have expressed their support for Berlin Film Festival director Tricia Tuttle, amid reports that she is about to be fired as the head of the Berlinale, following political backlash over pro-Palestinian speeches at this year’s awards ceremony.
The German film academy wrote in an open letter: “As filmmakers in Germany and beyond, we are following the current debates surrounding the Berlinale and the proposed dismissal of Tricia Tuttle with deep concern.”
