’s first in an official capacity as artistic director after she stood in last year while her predecessor was on sabbatical. So what does she have planned?
She also focuses on an “incredible strength in debuts this year,” including French-Senegalese director Mati Diop’s “Atlantics,” and Australian helmer Mirrah Foulkes’ “Judy & Punch.” She adds that “this is one of the strongest years we’ve seen from U.K. debuts,” citing films like Rose Glass’ “Saint Maud” and Nick Rowland’s “Calm With Horses.”
The festival continues to push for gender parity in its program, with 40% of all films and 60% of the films in the main competition directed or co-directed by women, but Tuttle emphasizes “we don’t program to quotas […] every filmmaker earned their place here.” “We want it to feel – whether you are an industry delegate or public audience – that when you walk around you know the festival’s on, and create that sense that you get at other festivals of a really strong festival presence,” she says.
