Former London Film Fest and Sheffield DocFest head Clare Stewart joins Rotterdam festival director Vanja Kaludjercic ahead of the 54th IFFR in January.
“I am excited to be welcoming Clare to the IFFR team and to Rotterdam as she makes this incredible city her new home,” said Kaludjercic. “She brings a deep understanding of the artistic and commercial sides of a festival from her formidable career to date, which is perfectly suited to the dual leadership dynamic we have between our two roles.
Korrie Louwes, chairperson of the IFFR supervisory board, said Stewart had an “unparalleled breadth of experience in strategically directing, and truly championing festivals, with a track record including some of the foremost celebrations of cinema in the world.
Stewart said she had deep roots with IFFR, as the “first international film festival I attended 25 years ago. It shaped my understanding of the interdependencies between cultural activity and industry development and the importance of engaging a dedicated local audience while positioning a festival as vital for the international, independent film sector.
The Australian-born Stewart was the festival director of the Sydney Film Festival from 2007 to 2011 and is credited with raising the event’s international profile. She took over the running of the BFI London Film Festival in 2011 and ran it and the BFI Flare: London LGBTQIA+ Film Festival through 2017, boosting audiences and elevating the events’ international position.
Stewart’s first IFFR as managing director will be the 54th festival, which will take place from Jan. 25 to Feb. 4, 2024.
